Here\u2019s the deal\u2026why am I not in France right now? I know I\u2019m on a crazy deadline for my next cookbook, but I feel like I should be in Europe. Provence to be exact. Last week it was Italy, and now I\u2019ve moved on to the French Riviera. All I know is that next summer is going to be ON POINT. There will be some major European adventuring involved! And def some Easy French Summer Picnics IN FRANCE!<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

Since we can\u2019t all pick up and hop over to France this weekend, I figured I\u2019d bring it to us with an Easy French Summer Picnic. One of my favorite things I notice every time we\u2019re in France is that the art of a picnic can be really simple. You don\u2019t have to go overboard and it doesn\u2019t need to be stressful. Just grab a few key ingredients like a great baguette, some cheeses, a few kinds of charcuterie and then of course something a little sweet – in today\u2019s case we\u2019re going with the best fruit spreads on the PLANET to add to our DIY sandwich situation!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t tried Bonne Maman<\/a> before, just do me a favor, remove yourself from the rock you\u2019ve been living under and be prepared to have your life altered for the best. I grew up with a stocked Bonne Maman<\/a> pantry – my parents have always been obsessed with all their preserves and jellies\u2026 my dad especially. He\u2019ll slather a big spoonful on a piece of homemade bread for a little afternoon snack and call it a day. Clearly, he\u2019s living his best French inspired life as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

The secret to the Bonne Maman Preserves, Jellies, Fruit Spreads and Curd is simple and right up our alley here on WGC\u2026. It\u2019s all about the ingredients. Their spreads are made from the same time-honored traditional French recipes that they\u2019ve been using for decades! All the recipes are made with natural ingredients and feature only the finest quality fruit\u2026. Nothing your grandma wouldn\u2019t have used if she was making this in her kitchen. Just whole fruit, sugar, lemon juice, and fruit pectin\u2026. that\u2019s it!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

Recently, Bonne Maman launched their Bonne Maman INTENSE Fruit Spreads and let me just tell you\u2026 I AM ADDICTED (see my IG stories today!) <\/span><\/h2>\n

They are made with more fruit and 39% less sugar than their regular preserves. <\/span>Bonne Maman preserves, jellies and fruit spreads are Non-GMO Project Verified,<\/span> have no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial coloring or no preservatives added. It\u2019s just simple ingredients with a homemade taste and I am HERE FOR IT!! So go grab a few jars – I\u2019m particularly obsessed with the strawberry one, and gather the rest of your picnic ingredients below! Find yourself a picnic basket and blanket and a patch of shady grass so you can sip on some Ros\u00e9 and spend a day outside with friends.<\/span><\/p>\n
