We're Jammin'

Anarchy%20in%20a%20Jar.jpgSigmund%20Pretzel.jpg

A couple of new foodies to share with you: Anarchy in a Jar, the local renegade jam-makers, and Sigmund, the tasty new East Village pretzel shop, both enter the vault this Saturday, so bring your (extra) appetite.

Laena and Liv's innovative jams first appeared at the Flea last year, paired with Salvatore Bklyn's perfect ricotta mini-sandwiches, and now they've gotten production going to a point where they can Flea solo. A sampling of the Anarchy this weekend: ginger-pear, strawberry-balsamic, and blueberry-maple syrup jams, and clementine and lime-and-pandan marmalades. Spread the word, and the jam.

(Flea veteran Miss Amy's Preserves is back in the vault this Sunday as well, and she's always a huge hit with her jams, tapenades, and yummy mustard (made with Blue Point Oatmeal Stout). She comes in from Suffolk County, sweet as can be.)

Lina opened her cute Sigmund shop at Ave. B + E. 3rd St. a couple months ago with a secret (vegan) recipe for German-style pretzels to much fanfare. We sampled almost all her flavors the other day—everything from classic to seven-chili to gruyere + smoked paprika to garlic-parsley—and aside from the tummy doughache, we thought they'd make a perfect snack for adult and mini-Fleasters alike. In addition to a splendid mustard, Sigmund does nice homemade (and free) toppings like beet-horseradish mayo and herb goat cheese. Yum.

We got some more new foodies coming onboard soon, stay tuned!
