HomeMaking Queen’s jams were awarded 4 Adult Judges Choice ribbons at the 2013 Clark County Fair, my first year participating.  I was anxious to compete again, not only to enter some new flavors, but also to challenge myself to earn more or a higher ranking ribbons.  This year was also my first year being fully licensed in a commercial kitchen, making this fair an exciting opportunity to get many of my flavors taste tested and scored.

In addition to the 16 Naturally Sweet, Booze-Infused, Fresh Salsas, and Perfectly Picked canned products that I entered, I also entered my Rum Cakes, a few cookies, and a fully-cooked version of my Apple Pie in a Jar.  I went the extra mile, not only with my products, but also with my presentation, taking time to add quit squares to each jar and tie a ribbon bow on every product.

HomeMaking Queen at 2014 Clark County Fair

HomeMaking Queen was awarded 2, yes two 2nd Best of Class Ribbons (1 each for Canned Goods and Baked Goods Class), in addition to 2 Adult Judge’s Choice, and 2 Youth Judge’s Choice ribbons!!  The Rummy Cherry won another Adult Judges Choice ribbon this year, in addition to the 2nd Best in Class.  The other 2nd Best of Class was awarded to my famous Pecan Spice Rum Cake, a traditional Puerto Rican recipe handed down through generations, modified only slightly to a healthier version.

I was thrilled to have a ribbon winning flavor in each class and received great feedback all around!  As a second timer, I am proud of how far I’ve come, and look forward to only getting better and better each year to come!  You betcha!!

HomeMaking Queen’s objective is to provide good wholesome food, free of hidden ingredients.  In that same manner, I am happy to disclose all product testing and scores publicly.  I am proud to make quality products, with simple and natural ingredients.
