WREN is hosting representatives from LaBelle Winery, Winnipesaukee Chocolates, Craquelins, Laurel Hill Jams & Jellies and other local favorites to tell you about how their products are made and offer a tasty sam- pling. Everyone is welcome. Just in time to indulge your Valentine’s Day sweet tooth, Winnipesaukee Chocolates will be bringing their wickedly rich fresh cream truffles as well as caramel and toasted nuts dipped in chocolate with a dash of sea salt. Laurel Hill is known for their award winning wine jellies like the White Zinfandel Wine Jelly, which can be savored as an hors d’oeuvre with a bit of cream cheese on a cracker or used as a glaze for pork or ham. Another selection to try is the Kadota Fig Jam that offers an excellent fla- vor with a sharp cheese.
