Ginger and Chocolate

My daughter and I spent Sunday afternoon exploring the Distillery District on Mill Street in downtown Toronto. We came across two products you need to know about if you like either of the title items.
First, "The Joy of Harvest".Their pineapple-ginger jam is incredible. The list of ingredients is short and sweet (no pun intended.) It reads: sugar, pineapple, ginger, pectin and citric acid. The ginger used is ginger root, the real thing, not the pretend stuff that the folks at Canada Dry put in their ginger ale, for instance. If you have a taste for the real thing, get your hands on some of this. It does absolutely incredible things to a morning slice of toast. Calvin & Zonia Slyfield are the people to call at (416)281-0037. They make other products too, like a scotch bonnet sauce and jerk sauce. It they're anything like the jam, you'll want to place a big order.
Chocoholics will want to know about SOMA, if they don't already. This chocolate maker is located at 55 Mill Street, where they open their doors seven days a week to sell the "food of the gods". They had biscotti and gelato, among their other offerings, but it was their dark chocolate that especially interested me. We tried some of their Amedei 70% cocoa content. It was wonderful. You might want to try some of their other temptations, like the "Dark Fire" or the "Baci di Dama". Follow this link to chocolate heaven.
