Louisiana Gourmet Baskets

Our fruit baskets are prepared to order, with a member of our staff going to the grocery to select the finest fruits of the day. Special requests can be honored. A woven basket with Spanish moss holds the fruit. Just before sealing with cellophane and adding a festive bow a selection of individually wrapped candies is sprinkled among the fruit.

Gourmet baskets begin at $30. Pricing is $6 per item plus an initial charge of $6 for the basket, Spanish moss, cellophane and ribbon.

Over the years our Louisiana Gourmet Baskets have become increasingly popular. At the heart of this offering are two women across the Lake who have a cottage industry called Weetsie's Two. Weetsie was their grandmother, and it is her recipes they use with local fruits and vegetables to provide delectable treats. Leading the way are the Ponchatoula strawberry preserves.

Other offerings include the sinfully delicious products of Southern Candymakers, Roman Candy off the wagon Uptown and other down-home Louisiana selections from LaDon's Kitchen up in the river parishes, and Cafe Du Monde items. Check our Fruit Basket page for a listing of items to choose from.

Starting at $45 $8 per item

Jawn's done it again! From his old home state comes a new gourmet basket offering. Savor such down home treats as Green Tomato Salsa, Peach Pepper Sauce, Phickle Pickles, and Pulley Bone Barbeque Sauce. The unbelievable icing on the cake is the Comeback Sauce. Anyone who spent much time in Jackson, Mississippi knows about this dressing. Skip the green stuff. grab a box of crackers and go for it. (the same way Jawn did growing up)!
