Flavor Feature: Farm‑to‑Table Flavor Inspiration

***********Apricot‑Glazed Pork Chop************

Pan‑seared pork chops glazed with Rose City Pepperheads “Apricot with Attitude”, seared in Argilos III Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and paired with garden‑fresh green beans — seasoned with our own Willow & River Brewpub Garlic Fries blend.

We’re currently out of that seasoning in‑store, but if you already have a jar at home, pull it back out! It’s incredible on veggies, roasted potatoes, or even as a finishing sprinkle for pork and chicken.

All other featured ingredients are available now at The Willow & River Spice Company, Ligonier — waiting to simply elevate your meals.

Comment RECIPE if you want it.
