I served my French friends Honey Almond Nougat from Sweet Gem and they were in heaven! Martine says she hasn't had such good nougat since she was in Montelimar. Bravo Nancy!

I dreamed about Sweet Gem last night...that there was a Sweet Gem kiosk in the lobby of my workplace, and I was able to indulge in a pear and pink peppercorn truffle! (Then I woke up, realized that I live in Colorado, and shed a tear...)

Today on annarbor.com, Kim Bayer wrote about her favorite local gifts. She had this to say about Sweet Gem: Many of Nancy's chocolates are infused with local flavors — like lavender, mint, or raspberries that she picks herself. But this year, she made something I'd only seen before in Paris, the absolute essence of summer, called "pate de fruit." Made from Michigan fruits — including blackberry, golden raspberry, pear with ginger, pawpaw with cranberry and star anise, strawberry and blueberry wine — eating one of these small jellied squares is like being punched in the mouth with concentrated fruit flavor. Sold for $6 for a box of six, they are so good!
