Description:
Our Spice Center in Tumacacori, Arizona is located in the heart of the historic Santa Cruz Valley. The Mission of San Jose de Tumacacori was founded first by the Jesuits in the 1690's. The church, which still stands today, was built in the early 1800's. The Presidio of San Ignacio de Tubac, the oldest of 3 Spanish military outposts, was established here after an Indian rebellion in 1751. By the late 1800's the valley was dotted with ranches, and mining camps, dominated by dauntless cattlemen and prospectors.

Featured Recipe
Mixed Berry Shortcake
BISCUITS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Add flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to the bowl of a food processor (or a large bowl.) Add butter pieces and pulse until butter is completely cut into the flour mixture (or use a pastry cutter if using a bowl.) Add almond extract to buttermilk. While pulsing (or stirring) drizzle in the buttermilk until dough just comes together and is no longer crumbly.
Drop in clumps on two baking sheets, then bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
BERRIES
Wash berries (slice strawberries if using) and place into a bowl. Sprinkle on 1/3 cup sugar, then add orange zest and juice. Stir gently, then set aside for 15 to 20 minutes to allow syrup to develop.
CREAM
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip yogurt, cream, sugar, and brown sugar on high until stiff (note: It won't get quite as stiff as regular whipped cream.)
TO SERVE
To serve, lay one biscuit on a plate, top with syrupy fruit, then top with a good spoonful of cream.
