mission partner: SmUcker’S®mission inspiration: pair with jam

As with friendships, the best pairings are often the unlikely ones. For a taste of improbable perfection in the form of mozzarella bites, our mission Partner this week, Smucker’s®, suggests combining the

velvety sweetness of Smucker’s® Pure Apricot or Pure Peach Jam with the salty goodness of prosciutto and mozzarella. Simply wrap

mozzarella balls in prosciutto, skewer with toothpicks and dip them in the jam. Visit smuckers.ca/pairings for dozens of other delectable

inspirations for pairing jam with, well, just about anything.

your next mission:perfect pairingsWhat are pancakes without syrup, wine without cheese, prosciutto

without melon? For food lovers, the love only increases when a meal is in perfect balance. Your mission this week is to enjoy a deliciously

harmonious pairing between two or more ingredients. Perhaps you want to extol the virtues of a classic combination — for example,

tomato and basil, gin and tonic or fries and gravy. Or maybe you’d rather introduce the Gastropost community to a pairing of your own?

Whatever match you make, share it for the benefit of all.
