Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer, and there’s no better way to celebrate than by gathering with friends and family around good food. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, heading to a picnic, or simply soaking up the sunshine at home, we’ve got a few seasonal favorites that make holiday weekends extra sweet.
From handcrafted frozen treats to buttery fruit-filled pastries, here are a few of our favorite picks for Memorial Day weekend:
Ice Cream Sandwiches🍦
Ice cream sandwiches can be so much more than plain vanilla and chocolate. Our handcrafted Ice Cream Sandwiches are made with fruit-forward ice cream and our very own house-made wafers for a frozen treat that tastes like summer in every bite.
Try flavors like peach, pluot, apricot, cherry chocolate, and pear caramel for an unforgettable dessert handmade right here at Frog Hollow Farm. The fruit in our ice cream is hand-picked from the farm and brought straight to our kitchen, where it’s transformed into rich ice cream that highlights the flavor of the season. Perfect for cooling down after a long day in the sun, sharing with guests, or stocking your freezer for the holiday weekend!
Apricot Cherry Tartlets🥧
Our Apricot Cherry Tartlets are always a crowd favorite. These individual-sized pastries are filled with the bright flavor of organic apricots and cherries, all tucked into our signature ruff-puff pastry.
With the perfect balance of sweet and tart, these tartlets are just as fitting for a Memorial Day brunch spread as they are for dessert after dinner. Bring them to a gathering and don’t expect leftovers!
Frozen Mulberries🫐
Our organic Pakistan mulberries are one of the most unique fruits we grow. Considered a superfood thanks to their high antioxidant content, they have an intensely aromatic flavor reminiscent of blackberry or boysenberry, with an earthy sweetness all their own.
Because fresh mulberries are incredibly delicate and perishable, we freeze them immediately after harvest to preserve their flavor and texture. Thanks to their naturally high sugar content, they don’t freeze into one solid block like many frozen fruits, making them easy to enjoy straight from the bag. Snack on them as-is, toss them into smoothies, or turn them into something special like mulberry pie or cake this weekend.
Fresh Fruit🍑
Our organic apricots are one of the true highlights of the season. With golden to blush-red skin, juicy flesh, and a fragrant aroma, these golden globes of perfection are a delight to the senses. Their distinctive flavor balances natural sweetness with just the right amount of tang, making them perfect for everything from snacking fresh out of hand to baking into your favorite summer desserts or adding to a Memorial Day spread.
No matter how you’re celebrating Memorial Day this year, we hope your weekend is filled with good food, sunshine, and meaningful time with the people you love. From all of us at Frog Hollow Farm, thank you for supporting small farms and seasonal eating this summer.
