Preservers Pull Together to Help a Friend in Need
A few weeks ago, food blogger and Punk Domestics contributor Jennifer Perillo tragically lost her husband to a sudden heart attack, leaving her with two young girls. The entire food blog community has rallied in support of her, and a non-profit has been formed to collect funds to help her through this difficult time.
That includes a number of folks within the Punk Domestics community, and they've all got spectacular auctions and raffles of goods to select from. So shop around, find something you like, and give a little to help out a dear friend in her time of great need.
A Mega-collection of Preserves
Kate of Snowflake Kitchen has rallied the troops, corralling jars from many preservers (including yours truly). One lucky winner will get:
From Sean @ Punk Domestics: Strawberry Marsala Rosemary Jam

From Julia @ What Julia Ate: Sour Cherry Preserves

From Kate @ Snowflake Kitchen: Apricot Pimentón Jam, Jameson Ginger Peach Jam and maybe a jar Carrot Caraway Pickles with Buckwheat Honey. If my test batch turns out as good as it smells.
From Nicole @ Arctic Garden Studio: Two jars of Alaska Wild Berry preserves AND 5 pounds of Alaska sweet carrots. They are the sweetest (and best) carrots she has ever eaten in her life. To top it all off, she will include an Alaskan Birch spoon.

A Sip and a Tipple
I've got a raffle going on my personal blog. It's got nothing to do with preserving or cooking, but I still think it's pretty bad-ass. An anonymous wine collector friend of mine has ponied up $600 of completely rad California cabernet, and it can be yours, all yours, for as little as $50. What a bargain, right?

Of course, if you're feeling exceptionally magnanimous, you could just plain give money in exchange for nothing other than the warm fuzzy feeling you get from helping someone in need. And you can do that by clicking on the badge below. It's that easy. Whether you're angling for one of the amazing prizes above or no, I hope you'll find it in your heart to give.
