Blog Series: Summer’s Sweet Escapes – July Edition

It’s time to fire up the grill, grab a picnic blanket, and celebrate with sweet and playful treats that shout summer and sunshine. July is all about those iconic red, white, and blue moments—from Fourth of July festivities to backyard cookouts and beach days.

This month in our Summer’s Sweet Escapes series, we’re getting bold with berries, playful with presentation, and keeping things cool and crowd-pleasing. You’ll find recipes that are as easy as they are festive—because summer should taste like fun.


🍓 What’s In Season:


🎆 Recipe Highlights This Month:

1. Red, White & Blueberry Jam Parfaits

Layers of vanilla yogurt, strawberry jam, and fresh blueberries with granola for crunch. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dessert.

2. Star-Spangled Jam Tarts

Mini puff pastry tarts filled with raspberry and blueberry jam, cut into festive star shapes before baking. A sweet way to celebrate!

3. Berry Jam Sparkler Mocktails

A splash of lemon-lime soda, a swirl of berry jam, and a handful of fresh berries—served over crushed ice with a striped straw for extra flair.

4. Firecracker Ice Cream Sandwiches

Vanilla ice cream sandwiched between sugar cookies, rolled in red, white, and blue sprinkles, and drizzled with a quick berry jam glaze.

5. Jam-Glazed BBQ Sliders

Sliders get a sweet-savory upgrade with a brush of cherry or blueberry preserves melted into barbecue sauce. Serve with slaw on mini buns.
