Our very own ASA member and all-round nice person, Jan Freedman entered the Baking and Preserving portion of the Homecraft Division of the Schomberg Fair with her delicious and nutritious baking and preserves, ending up winning the Champion Cook\u2019s Plaque for the highest total points in the competition!
\nThat win comes with the plaque and $100. Jan, pictured below with her win (and some tasty treats) \u2013 also won three of the special categories sponsored by Mazola Corn Oil (apricot and cherry cake), Robin Hood Flour (chocolate banana loaf) and the Pioneer Brand Honey category (traditional honey cake).
\nAmong the winners of first place ribbons were Jan\u2019s banana loaf, cinnamon loaf, zucchini loaf, strawberry jam, rhubarb jelly, apricot jam, sour cherry jam and zucchini pickles.
\nShe is a very talented and a very lucky lady! Anyone who is interested in trying any of the winning preserves is invited to visit Jan at the Aurora Farmers\u2019 Market and Artisan Fair any Saturday at the Town Park. Congratulations Jan!<\/p>\n
