When there’s a place to shop where there’s a story behind the merchandise, where each product is full of possibilities for ways to enjoy it, and it’s attractive too, I consider it a “field trip” to go there. Fischer & Wieser is just such a place in Fredericksburg, Texas. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting twice and enjoyed taste testing things and purchasing goodies to take home. On my second visit to the store, I was treated to a dinner inside the Fischer & Wieser Cooking School. When someone attends a class there, they also get to eat what the group made! The team at the Cooking School was kind enough to share a recipe from the meal I had that night. With just a few ingredients, this Seville Orange Green Beans recipe will be one that RealFoodTraveler.com readers will want to make again and again.

First, a little bit about Fischer & Wieser Specialty Foods, Inc. The family-owned and operated business is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Their best-known product, The Original Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce is how the business really gained popularity (pour a little over cream cheese and you have the easiest ever appetizer to spread on crackers). The owners, Case Fischer and Mark Wieser started selling jams and jellies in their store, Das Peach Haus(R), made from peaches grown in the orchard out back – the very same ones Mark Wieser grew up with on the family land. Fischer & Wieser Specialty Foods, Inc. has expanded to more than 150 products that are distributed throughout the U.S., Mexico, Canada and beyond. You can buy their products at www.Jelly.com as well as in many larger grocery stores and smaller independent stores, and on Amazon.com.

Fischer & Wieser’s Cooking School Recipe for
Seville Orange Green Beans

Presented with permission of Fischer & Wieser Specialty Foods, Inc.

Ingredients:
Salt
1 lb. fresh string beans, stem ends removed
6 slices of bacon
Fischer & Wieser Seville Orange & Fennel Marmalade (available on their website and through this link on Amazon.)

Instructions:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 TBS of salt.

Add the string beans and cook for 4 minutes or until the beans are cooked but still crunchy.

Drain and then place the string beans in a cold bath of water. This will stop the cooking process and allow the green beans to retain their bright green color.

Dice the raw bacon. Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook it until it’s crispy, about 10-12 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon from the pan but leave the bacon fat.

Add the cooked green beans to the pan with the bacon fat and stir to coat, cooking the beans in the fat. After sauteeing for about 3-4 minutes, add 1/2 a jar of Seville Orange & Fennel Marmalade from Fischer & Wieser. Add a pinch of salt.

Serve warm.
