We took a chilly March weekend trip to the touristic village of St. Jacobs, Ontario. This 1.5 hour drive from Toronto is a beloved trek into agrarian times past, especially with the active Old Order Mennonite population in the area. On Saturday morning the biggest tourist pull is the Farmer's market. We browsed the jams and the sheepskin mittens ("not cheapskin" is their motto).
By far the most popular stall at the whole market from early morning was that for fresh apple fritters. Before our eyes a team of teenage girls peeled, sliced, battered, fried and drenched the apple fritters in cinnamon sugar. After waiting so long in the slow line which trailed out the door into the chilly March wind, most people ordered at least a dozen crispy, decadent fritters. We chose our 2 fritters with vanilla ice cream And a generous dousing of maple syrup!
