Taste Testers Wanted
Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at 11:23AM Throughout the months of September, October and November Manning Canning is going to be busy in the test kitchen experimenting with new recipes to see how they can be improved, bring out new flavours, reduce the amounts of sugar used, etc. But we are also going to pit recipes against one another to see which recipe is the better of the two.
If you believe yourself to have a discerning palette, are willing to taste test several different preserves; be it pickle, jam, relish or jelly and are also willing to share your honest feedback and have me share it with others in any of my on-line spaces, let me know. Unfortunately at this point in time, I can only open this opportunity up to those in the Greater Toronto Area. Just enter your name and why you are interested in being a Manning Canning Taste Tester in the comment section below as well as the best way to contact you.
And if you are interested, the first recipe battle will be Peach Preserves vs Canned peaches in a light syrup.

Christine, I love your jellies and preserves! I especially love them on a variety of Ontario goat's and cow's milk cheeses. I enjoy creating little platters for the whole office to try because it makes people smile. Pick me!
One of the great pleasures in life is the enjoyment of food. Bringing together subtleties, mixing, matching, experimenting, and sharing. It's all about how to balance everything you eat or serve your guests which counts. Which is why I think I would be an excellent tester. That and the fact I will be completely honest about what I'm tasting.
I raise my hand to be a taste tester. Why? I have an excellent palette (or so I have been told whenever I go for wine tasting), am honest (but not in a bitchy way), LOVE your products (LOVE), and believe in supporting fellow entrepeneurs. I also think I might learn a thing or two from fellow tasters.
Jasmin, Shirley and Nancy...thank you so much for raising your hands and volunteering your taste buds. Details to follow soon :)
Mmm, I'd love to taste test. And maybe we can barter an archery lesson for some peach preserves :)
I raise my hand to be a taste tester! I am a pickle hound and love me some pickles :) I have a wee bit of a culinary background so I know I have a good palette... Hope to hear from you soon!
Sorry for the delayed response Ashley and Mark. Where are you both located so I can see if logistically it is feasible for you to both be taste testers. So excited you are interested ;)
