Simple Party Ideas

Helene made an appearance at a special event last weekend and showcased some of her products for the guests to enjoy.

Fallbrook's eco-friendly boutique At Home On Main Street hosted an open house featuring the actor and environmentalist Ed Begley, Jr. More than 100 people filtered through tasting organic wine and La Vigne Fruits, and the feedback was fabulous. Here's what they did and how you can easily create artisan, organic, and quick appetizers for any event or party...

Just buy a couple of blocks of organic cream cheese and open a bottle of kumquat conserve and kumquat piquant sauce. Simply pour the sauce over the block and serve with crackers. It's absolutely wonderful.

Next we opened a jar of persimmon salsa, put it in a nice bowl, and served with artisan tortilla chips. Another quick idea is to create a simple salad with the persimmon salad dressing.

All of the flavors of these ideas are so exotic and the perfect blend of sweet with savory. I think your guests will surely be impressed!

The feedback was so good that the boutique decided to carry the line of products for the customers. (See photo)
