I remember as a child playing shop with my fabulous cash register toy that even had a working conveyor belt. I used to wish I could make delicious things to sell in my shop, with my dolls being my best customers. In recent times, this has all become possible. For a few months now, Miss GourmetRabbit herself, Denea and I have been toying with the idea of selling gourmet jam and home made granola at the markets, and it’s finally become a reality.

Over the weekend, we had out first day at the inaugural Reservoir Bazaar Markets at The Winery in Surry Hills. At my day job, I designed the logo and posters for the markets, which are on every Saturday between 10am-4pm and it was a great opportunity to be involved on a few different levels.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and we have two varieties of delicious MyRabbit Muesli – Squirrel Mix, which contained hazelnuts, almonds and juicy chunks of Turkish figs, and Rabbit Mix with a lovely blend of Manuka honey, cranberries and white chocolate-coated almonds.

The granola is sold in large and small coffee cups with a spoon so you can add milk or yoghurt and eat them on the go or at your desk, perfect for people who don’t have time to sit down to a proper breakfast. But the best part – once you’re done, the cup can be reused for your morning coffee. Brilliant! Small cups are $6 and the large cups are $8.

We also have a range of spicyicecream branded preserves, which is very exciting! My strawberry jam has a subtle hint of ginger and vanilla, and is absolutely delicious on scones. Denea’s Nanna would be proud that her recipe is used for our country style lemon butter – it’s the real stuff, and it tastes fantastic. The jams are packaged beautifully with labels designed by moi. And with Christmas around the corner, they would make excellent gifts at only $10 each!

We’re also selling GourmetRabbit magazine, so if you haven’t got your copy yet, this is the perfect chance! Our next markets will be in a fortnight, on Saturday 30th October and we hope to see you there! And for my lovely readers, here’s a very special offer. If you mention this post, you’ll receive a free small granola with any purchase of $20 or more! So come down and say hi, check out the markets, get your granola fix and have a lovely long lunch at The Winery!
