Posted - Jun 02 2012 : 5:42:02 PM for those who give out jelly samples (tasting), can you share tips?
I thought about taking my glass cake plate and putting samples in that, and I do have gloves, but would love to hear what you do. I am going to give samples of my red clover jelly.

Posted - Jun 04 2012 : 08:29:48 AM Look into the laws about it first. I wanted to do the same thing myself, but the laws were so specific I couldn't do it. They had a temperature range of about 5 degrees that the opened jar must be maintained at, covered containers for the supplies to be stored in, covered serving containers, paperwork about when, where, and how the food was prepared. In my state and county it was horrible. I simply couldn't afford the equipment for the set up.
Check it out carefully before hand.

Posted - Jun 03 2012 : 7:39:44 PM You can get those kind of supplies at Sams and such too. Don't let customers get the samples out of a jar or such themselves have them ready like Penny suggested or personally give them their samples. I like that better then every ones hands on stuff. A good thing with jelly many places use animal crackers to serve it with...if you have something special you do with the jelly have that up for samples too. IE say you mix the jelly with cream cheese to make a cracker dip, then have that made up and have crackers to go with it....so people get a good taste of what it could be made into, etc.

Posted - Jun 03 2012 : 09:46:01 AM i've never had a booth so i can't speak from experience but a thought-if you can get to a restaurant paper supply place- do they still sell those cute lil white paper "cups" about an inch in diameter to put like Parmesan cheese in??? load them with a sample and display on your cake plate? small(mini muffin style) cupcake liners????
when i lived up in Menominee MI we would go to the mall or to a cheese place where they sampled mustards and stuff- just an open container with pretzels to dip in--yummo but i wondered about people who might "double dip" and spread germs?
