Fischer & Wieser products are delicious and delightful for gourmet food lovers. The family owned business is located in the heart of Fredericksburg, Texas and the company offers a line of foods that are versatile and incredibly pleasing. Fill your pantry with their jellies, preserves, mustards, salad dressings, salsas, soups, meal starters and sauces. And be sure to gift items to people who enjoy top-notch specialty foods.

Case Fischer and Mark Wieser started selling jams and jellies in their store, Das Peach Haus, made from peaches grown in their own orchard behind the store. In fact, Fischer & Wieser are top peach experts. With 12 peach-based products in their catalog, you can use them to make one of the many recipes that can be found on their web site that include Das Peach Haus Peach Salsa Shrimp Ceviche, Peachy Flatiron Steak Frites, and Texas Peach and Ginger Sangria.

Since their beginnings Fischer & Wieser has expanded their product catalog to over 150 tempting items that are distributed throughout the United States, Mexico and beyond. They recently launched Dr. Foo's Kitchen line of Thai cooking sauces. We tried Dr. Foo's Kitchen Bali BBQ Sauce that is ideal when brushed over grilled or baked chicken or used as a marinade for duck or chicken breast. It is also a flavorful finishing sauce to toss with French Fries or chunks of baked potato.

The products from the Fischer & Wieser line have won prestigious awards. One of their best-known products is The Original Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce that won the award for "Outstanding New Bestseller Award" at the Fancy Food Show in 1997. Glaze your pork tenderloin with this distinctive sauce or pour some over soft cream cheese and enjoy with crackers or as a vegetable dip.

At the 2017 Fancy Food Show, the company won two coveted sofi awards including "Best New Product, BBQ Sauce" for Dr. Foo's Kitchen Bali BBQ Sauce and a Silver Award for Jam, Preserves for Fischer & Wieser Cherry Balsamic Preserves.

We like that Fischer & Wieser jams and spreads make charcuterie platters distinctive. Items like Amaretto Peach Pecan Preserves and their Bourbon Cranberry Preserves are a perfect complement for cheese and crackers. With Fischer and Weiser products in your kitchen, your culinary abilities will flourish and your family and guests will be pleased with exciting new dishes that are tasty and inviting.

Broadwayworld.com Food and Wine had the opportunity to interview Deanna Fischer, Chief Experience Officer for Fischer & Wieser. We learned a great deal about the company and their plans for the future.

Tell us a little about the beginnings of the "Fischer & Wieser" brand.

Fischer & Wieser's first product was Old Fashioned Peach Preserves made by Mark Wieser's mother out of the ripe peaches from our first orchard. We started with jams and jellies made from local, Texas Hill Country fruit. We started doing shows and festivals around Texas selling our products and as Case spoke with our customers, he heard that some of our customers were heating up our Texas 1015 Onion Jelly and serving it as a protein topping - like with pork or steak. That gave Case the idea of doing sauces. He turned the Texas 1015 Onion Jelly into a sauce and then went to work making some companions to it. That's when he created the Original Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce - an amazing blend of fruit and smoky peppers. That product won the Specialty Food Association's Outstanding New Bestseller Award in 1997 and suddenly our little regional jelly company was on its way to becoming nationally distributed.

We'd love to know some of the reactions from your customers.

They like the ease of use, the creative combination of flavors. Some customers always keep an extra bottle of our Original Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce in their pantry! They like the clean ingredient profiles and the quality and consistency of what we make. Here are just a few of the many positive comments that have appeared via Facebook.

"My husband and son were just in The Florida Keys for Boy Scout Sea Base camp and ran across the Chipotle Blueberry Sauce at a hot sauce shop! Love to see you guys all over!" Karrie M.

"Great cooking and wine pairing classes in Fredericksburg." Jim B

"I love this company! Their sauces are the best I've ever had. I use the Charred Peach or Charred Pineapple Bourdon on my baked salmon." Yvonne G.

What do you plan for the future of the company?

Fischer & Wieser is a legacy company, and is still owned by the families that started it. We plan to grow our brands and continue to develop our "Culinary Adventure" on our peach farm in Fredericksburg, TX (where we have a cooking school, a wine tasting room and our original store Das Peach Haus.) Our kids are interested in carrying on the tradition, and have their own ideas for continuation and expansion of Fischer & Wieser brand! Future plans include a distillery and winery using locally grown fruits like our peaches, and continued distribution of our fine products in all venues that our customer would like to buy them.
