The bountiful joys of Christmas are looming, and while we may be celebrating a little differently this year, we still may enjoy all the special tidings and well-wishes that come with it. In fact, this holiday may be one of the most memorable ones of all as many of us stay cozily at home.

In any case, the big holidays are fast approaching and it is time to prepare.

Lilly Puds Brandy Butter

The perfect blend of butter, sugar and brandy.

Brandy butter is traditionally served with warm mince pies and Christmas pudding, melting lusciously into the desserts. Mmm…Sinfully delicious!

Balsamic Vinegar

Herma loves the idea of offering a beautiful bottle of Balsamic Vinegar as a gift. We carry an amazing selection of Balsamic Vinegar from dark to light, young to old, common to rare.

Only a few drops are needed to add incredible dimension and flavour to your dishes. Special Balsamic Vinegars may be added to your desserts, ice cream, over strawberries, poached pears, salads and meats. Our favourite enjoyment comes from dipping Manoucher’s Baguette in Kalio’s 03 Late Season Harvest Olive Oil that contains four or five drops of Guissepe Giusti’s exquisite Balsamic Vinegar.

Herma’s Menu Suggestion of the Week

Main Course

Pork Tenderloin

filled with Classic Sage, Onion and Bread Stuffing

Juicy pork tenderloin filled with The Village Grocer’s classic sage, onion and bread stuffing, with the added sweetness of apples, cranberries, raisins and apricots is a comforting meal any night of the week. Thaw, cook at 350 for 45-50 minutes, slice and serve.

Side

Potato Puff

One of our “puffs” would pair well with the tenderloin. Garlic potato, Sweet Potato, Potato and Turnip, these puffs are sweetened with brown sugar and made creamy with butter and eggs. They are available in our freezer in 900 gram or approximately 400 gram sizes.

Dessert

The Big Apple’s Apple Pie

We’re happy to carry frozen, unbaked apple pies from The Big Apple, an excellent close to this soothing meal. Pop this pie in the oven at 400 for 30 minutes, then lower the heat to 350 and bake for another 30-40 minutes. How about a piece of Mapledale 5-year-old cheddar with a big slice of this mouth-watering pie? Yum!

All foods are available for in-store shopping or through curbside pickup.

Featured Cheese

Wookey Hole Cave Aged Cheddar

This award-winning, PDO cheddar is a cut above the rest.

The cheesemakers at Dorset-based Ford Farm age their traditional, hand-made farmhouse cheddar truckles in the historic caves at Wookey Hole in Somerset.  The constant, year-round temperature and humidity offer the ideal conditions to create a cheddar that is deliciously rich, tangy and mature combined with the distinctive, earthy and nutty flavours from the Caves’ unique atmosphere. – Wookey Hole Cave Aged Cheddar

Shropshire Blue Cheese

A Cheese originally from Scotland, it has a beautiful orange colour that comes from Annato, a vegetable food colouring found in many cheeses.

Serve over Fettuccine or Risotto for a twist on a classic Italian dish. Also serve crumbled over an Orange and Spinach Salad.

Cheese & Charcuterie Platters and Gift Baskets may be ordered by calling 905-885-9250 or stopping by our front desk.

Have a lovely weekend. We look forward to seeing you in the near future.

Stay safe and be well.

Sincerely,

Meredith Ender
