\nOnce again, the Farmers\u2019 Market and Artisan Fair was treated to a beautiful sunny and warm day on Saturday.
\nThere was a steady stream of customers, although many people are away on trips or at cottages. I\u2019m told by a few of our vendors that some families stop by the market early on Saturday morning to pick up supplies on their way to the cottage\u2014what a great idea!
\nEach week now seems to bring newly ripened produce. We even have some delicious, albeit expensive wild blueberries. I\u2019m trying to think of creative ways to use them in cooking beyond the traditional pancakes or in desserts. Blueberries actually work well with meat too. If I do develop a really interesting recipe, I\u2019ll share it in a future column.
\nThe next vendor I\u2019d like you to meet is Sarah from Sarah Joy Sweets, who makes those delicious Dutch pancakes called \u201cpofferjes\u201d.
\nSarah grew up in Vineland, ON. As the youngest of four children, she loved being in the kitchen working with her dad as he canned peaches from their huge garden or cooked big dinners for family gatherings.
\nThe kitchen was where the action was, and even as a young girl, Sarah was encouraged to participate. She loved watching and helping her mom to bake and was encouraged to be creative and try new recipes when friends came to visit.
\nWorking together in the kitchen has always been an enjoyable family activity that helped shape Sarah\u2019s love for baking and cooking.
\nAfter graduating from high school, Sarah left Vineland for the metropolis of Toronto where she attended George Brown College in the Baking and Pastry Arts Programme. She graduated with honours in 2016, and a few months later married and moved to Aurora.
\nSarah has travelled with her family to Holland several times as their ancestral roots are there.
\nThey have stayed in the beautiful town of Diever and from there they biked to the local markets to enjoy Dutch pastries and other delicacies. It was at one of these Dutch markets where Sarah was introduced to \u201cpofferjes\u201d, the little Dutch pancakes.
\nAt every market you could buy a tray of fresh, warm \u201cpofferjes\u201d topped with fruit sauce and a sprinkle of icing sugar. Sarah has fond memories of experiencing the markets and tasting Dutch treats.
\nSarah\u2019s desire is to share some of her Dutch heritage with us at the Aurora Farmers\u2019 Market.
\nShe has partnered with Cherry Lane, a fruit farm in Vineland. At Sarah\u2019s booth you\u2019ll find Cherry Lane\u2019s 100% sour cherry juice concentrate and dried cherries.
\nYou will also be able to taste the warm \u201cpofferjes\u201d topped with whipped cream, fresh fruit sauce (from Cherry Lane) and a sprinkle of icing sugar.
\nThey are so delicious that I predict that you\u2019ll be hooked from the first bite! Sarah looks forward to sharing part of her Dutch heritage with everyone. \u201cEet smakelijk\u201d\u2014that\u2019s Dutch for \u201cbon app\u00e9tit\u201d.
\nOur next Special Event is on August 19 when we sponsor a Community Corn Roast. With musical entertainment, a draw for a Market bag full of goodies from the Market plus some surprises we are planning.
\nYou are in for a real treat that day as well known Aurora musicians David Pilkey and Steve Falk will be playing for us. We have invited our Mayor and Councillors to help with the BBQ, so if you want to talk to any of them, plan to attend.
\nSee you at the Market!<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
