Sugar free jellies and the Farmer's Market

We love love love! the farmer's market. There is something really nice about knowing exactly where and from whom your produce and other food has come from (especially with all of the e-coli and other outbreaks from non-local growers.). It's the next best thing to getting it from your own garden. The market we go to has a vendor that has sugar free jellies and fruit butters made just from the fruit. So it's not completely sugar free, but it has no added sugar on top of what's already in the fruit. There stuff is DELICIOUS. There's also usually a honey vendor, so you can pick up another sugar free goody. It's every Friday from 9-12ish at Center and University. They've recently gotten some other new vendors too that have free range eggs and grass fed meat. So you could get most of your basic shopping done there while you're picking up all those fruits and veggies we're supposed to be eating :)

Also, I'm sure most of you have seen this at some point, but a few months ago I saw for the first time a package with the ingredient "evaporated cane juice". This is a fancy way of saying "sugar". I see it mostly on organic and all natural foods. I just wanted to throw that out there.
