It’s the week of Thanksgiving! Try your hand this week at some local recipes, local ingredients, local gifts, and more! Island Thanksgivings are a really treat!

Welcome to the market: Virgin Islands Creations, carrying locally made soaps with ingredients they grow! I’ve tried them and they are very moisturizing yet cleansing for the skin! A nice break from harsh detergents used in commercial soaps. Especially after all this hand sanitizer we’ve all been using.

New one the market: locally crafted Beeswax Wrap clothes, an eco-friendly substitute for foil paper and seran wrap over your holiday dishes on the kitchen counter. This is really cool that a local beekeeper is making their own beeswax cloth wraps available to the VI community!

SORREL!!! This is your chance to bring a sorrel drink or dish to Thanksgiving as a true island touch! If you haven’t used it before, you can treat it like cranberry. Very tart and sour raw, but amazing when cooked in sugar. Try make a sorrel sauce fo the Turkey this year! And the color!!! Oh my. Here’s some sorrel recipes to try.
