I couldn’t find it in their product list, and I don’t have a picture of it, but Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Fudge Sauce is just delicious. Dark, intense, creamy, perfect over ice cream or from a spoon. I know it’s available at their factory store in San Leandro. You should certainly try it.
I found Sunny Harvest Blueberry Preserves at the 99cents only store and, after looking at the ingredients and noting the use of sugar and not corn syrup, I just had to try it. They were great. I served them at my last tea party along with a large selection of jams and spreads, and these were the favorite ones (after dulce de leche, of course). They have a very strong and definite blueberry taste. Interestingly, they are made in China, which I’d never pegged as a big producer of blueberries.
I’ve said it before, but I love going to the 99-cents store and seeing what treat I can find for my 99-cents. They are particularly strong on preserves of all kinds, which come from all over the world. I suspect much of it could be sold by European-type stores for many times as much.
What a difference a butter makes. I got some President Unsalted Butter at the EuroMix deli on Piedmont Ave. and I’m in heaven. That butter is just so, so good. I recognize it as being the butter I enjoy at many high-class restaurants (which, I’m sure, don’t churn their own). It also wasn’t particularly expensive given the quality.
