Pearl has done a great job creating\u00a0gift baskets and new items for our website. She is always prodding us (gently)\u00a0to come up with new products to add to our website offerings. We have been\u00a0promising a new catsup (from all those tomatoes) and Anna has been experimenting and is coming up with an exciting product.\r\n\r\nThe problem we are faced with is what to call it and how do we market\u00a0this product? Everyone knows what catsup is and they have a very strong idea\u00a0of what that is. Our catsup will be worlds better than anything made from\u00a0Heinz, since ours will be made with our amazing tomatoes grown here on the\u00a0farm (and won\u2019t have any high fructose corn syrup in it). But still, Heinz is the\u00a0standard; almost whether you like it or not, Heinz is what we think of when\u00a0we think of catsup. However, while its name is familiar, its use is limited. I\u00a0have a bottle of catsup (not, Heinz but an organic version) in my refrigerator\u00a0that is used by 1 person in my household, my daughter Millie, for her periodic\u00a0hot dog. I can\u2019t remember when I bought it. It has been in the fridge, in the\u00a0shelf door with the soy sauce, capers, Sriracha, anchovies and other seldom\u00a0used condiments and ingredients. To call our product \u201ccatsup\u201d (or ketchup,\u00a0same thing just different spelling) is tricky; while customers might buy it\u00a0because they know what it is, they also may use it infrequently (as I have) and\u00a0they may not buy it often and more importantly, they could miss out on its\u00a0usefulness and enjoyment as an ingredient.\r\n\r\nWe are excited by the first batches; it is deeply tomatoey, rich and a\u00a0little spicy. Yes, it will be great with hot dogs and hamburgers and dare I forget French fries and potatoes, but it will also be wonderful with bruschetta and\u00a0prosciutto, or with roasted beef and vegetables.\r\n\r\nI promise you this tomato catsup, sauce or whatever we call it, will not sit idle\u00a0and neglected in your refrigerator!\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: right;\"><em><strong>- Chef Becky<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear CSA Members, Now that summer is over it\u2019s time for us (Anna, Pearl &amp; I) to focus\u00a0on our fall and holiday mail order program.
