Maine Winter Farmer's Market

Today was the first day of the Winter Farmer's Market in Biddeford, Maine.  My friend Sue of Above The Dam Jam was there selling her homemade Jams for the first time at a Farmer's Market.  The market had some other great stuff like Alpaca wool (hand knitted items), baked goodies, jewelry and SALSA.  Currently on my list of things to do is to can more of my own salsa, so in the meantime I am going to have to buy it.  I tried several of the Guzman's varieties including, cranberry and blueberry salsas.  My favorite and the one I ultimately purchased was Guzman's Black Bean & Corn Salsa - so yummy.  The black bean flavor really shines through in this one.  It is labeled as medium, but has some real heat to it. 

The label appropriately reads "The Taste of Mexico from the Coast of Maine".  When I picked up the jar in this rather cold former textile mill, I noticed the jar was warm.  So I inquired and found out that the batch was made this morning (4am to be exact).  I love that!  Though $6 per jar may be a little steep - I highly recommend this spicy indulgence.   What a great find and great compliment to my quesadilla lunch today.  (note: I paid $6 for a 16 oz jar, and the website lists the item as $6 for an 8 oz jar).
