BONNE MAMAN 2020 ADVENT CALENDAR

Here is something fun.  We wanted this last year but they sell out quickly.  I ordered this one back in September and it was sold out in just a few days*

We are big fans of Bonne Maman jellies and jams.  They are so good and about the closest to homemade that you can buy in the store.

*By the way, we paid for this ourselves, this is not sponsored, we're just fans of their product and wanted to try it out.

It comes in this great sleeved package.  You slide off the outside package (the "exterior" of the house) and then the advent calendar box is decorated as the "inside" of the house with all the rooms.

Just like any advent calendar, you open the little doors, one per day until Christmas and get a sample of a limited edition creation in a small 1 oz jar.  For example, the one above was "pear-mirabelle plum" (delish!)

This was a mango-peach-lime spread (SO good!)

We'll have them with a little butter on some homemade bread (we split one jar between the two of us).

Here's a cherry-elderflower spread.  What a great combination that was.

We've had it on toast too and sometimes we try two jars at once if we get behind.

We miss a few days of eating them on occasion but we do make sure to take one out each day and see what it is.  For example, the ones above are from December 9, 10, 11, 12.

Now I know why advent calendars are fun, ha. 

And hey, bonus gift is at the end of the month I'll have a couple dozen tiny jars for future projects!

When we're all done, I'll post a list of the flavor combinations because to me, they give ideas for future canning adventures.  I mean who would think to put together mango, peach and lime?
