Zing Tasting: American Spoon Fruit Perfect Sour Cherries

Know it: 

Michigan's Montmorency cherries are known for their color and flavor, and American Spoon up in Petoskey has preserved them in their own juices for a jar full of beautiful fruit

Look at it:  

A huge amount of fruit for the volume--whole, pitted cherries to the brim, surrounded by bright syrup

Smell it:  

Sweet and tart, like the best cherry pie filling you can imagine

Taste it:  

Firm and juicy with true cherry flavor all the way through

Great with:

Gelato, Manhattans, yogurt, pancakes or just a spoon

Pimento Party

Crafting the optimal scooping
structure for pimento cheese

Know it:

Ari likens Pimento Cheese to a culinary religion in the South, and we at ZMO are big believers.  We make it here from scratch with 2-Year cheddar from Grafton Village in Vermont, Hellman's, pimentos, sea salt and fresh-ground Tellicherry black pepper

Look at it: 

A creamy spread with distinct pieces of cheddar, tinted orange with bits of pimento and flecks of pepper

The makings of a great lunch in Paso Robles, CA

Smell it:

Just how you'd imagine with all the ingredients above.  If you can smell it without your mouth watering, something is wrong

Taste it:
Creamy and tangy with a little heat.  Absolutely addictive and without substitute.

Ready for battle

Great With:

A sandwich of tomatoes and Arkansas Peppered Bacon on Brewhouse Bread, homemade baked potato chips, John Macy's Cheesesticks and Roadhouse Burgers
