The Salt List, November
Where We’re Going
The Brooklin Inn
As the days get quieter and the sun sets earlier, bundle into your car and meander your way through Blue Hill and along the peninsula to Brooklin. About an hour and fifteen minute drive from the island, Brooklin is one of my favorite drives. To me, it represents true, old world Maine. Stop for a cocktail and a dinner of fried Brussel sprouts, pâté and oysters at The Brooklin Inn and then pop down the road to the Brooklin harbor to look at the moon.

What We’re Listening To
The Salt Market’s Japanese Jazz
Lately The Salt Market has been on a Japanese jazz kick. Kübla by Wyl, Wun Two is a personal favorite. Its smooth beat and swanky saxophone are both vibey and comforting. Check out our Japanese Jazz mix for November here.
What We’re Eating
The Salt Market’s Blueberry Jam
In preparation for the holidays, we are perfecting our jam recipes and have been piping them into our new fried and sugared donuts with Bavarian cream. Our blueberry jam is made with Maine blueberries and lemon zest, a lovely combination of sweet and tangy. I had it on vanilla ice cream the other night and it was 15/10 delicious.
