We're all about New England flavor.
One of the things we love about our down-home country store is when people come up to us with a great recipe. Calef's ingredients make the taste just right. If you've got a favorite recipe be it wacky or traditional, drop us a line.


Hot Pepper Jelly Cheesecake
Easy to prepare—never fails to impress.
Mix 8 oz cream cheese, 1 egg, 2 cloves minced garlic, 5 oz Calef’s Snappy Old Cheese and 4 oz of our Hot Pepper Jelly. Pour into a 6-in. spring form pan and bake at 350 deg. for 30 min. Cool in ice box. Top with additional jelly and enjoy on crackers.


Snappy Shortbread
A new take on a classic.

Toss 2 cups shredded Calef’s Snappy Old Cheese with 1 ½ cups flour, ¾ t dry mustard and ¼ t cayenne pepper (careful-this is very hot stuff). Mix in 1 stick of melted butter. Work by hand to form a dough ball, adding 1 T of water, if necessary. Roll out on a floured surface to 1/8 “–1/4” thickness. Cut with cookie cutters. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet in a preheated 375 deg. oven for 10-12 minutes. Enjoy with a fine bottle of white wine. For a more filling snack, try wrapping the dough around a cooked sausage or stick of pepperoni before baking.


Calef’s Grownup PB&J Sandwich
Peanut Butter—it’s not just for kids anymore.

Try using our Hot Pepper Jelly in this classic sandwich for a wonderful combination of flavors. Add a slice or two of crispy smoked bacon for additional decadence. Goes great with a cold glass of milk.
