"Our new hamburger buns are available in white and country wheat. It's so easy to add excitement to traditional burgers using simple alternatives to ground beef such as lamb, fun toppings, and of course the perfect buns," adds Linda.

Here for the summer, ACE Bakery White and Country Wheat Hamburger Buns are made with the finest ingredients and have no added preservatives. "For the ultimate vegetarian burger, try grilled vegetables and melted cheese on country wheat and salmon or chicken on white. Spice up your BBQ with tapenade toppings on salmon burgers, or pesto with chicken", Linda explains.

One of North America's leading artisan bakeries, ACE Bakery's famous baguettes and artisan breads are available at hundreds of restaurants, hotels, caterers, grocery, and gourmet food shops across Canada, New York State, and the Midwest U.S.A. ACE Bakery opened in 1993 as an artisan bakery creating hand-made, European-style rustic breads. The gentle shaping of each loaf, long fermentation periods, and a stone deck oven all work to create exceptionally flavourful products with a light airy texture and crisp golden crust. In keeping with ACE's high quality standards, the new hamburger buns contain no added preservatives and are made using only the finest ingredients.

Community involvement is an essential part of ACE's philosophy. The company donates a percentage of its net profits to charitable organizations in the principal centres where ACE breads are sold. ACE's focus is on food and nutrition programs that assist low-income members of the community, financing culinary scholarships, and supporting organic farming initiatives.

ACE Corn, Zucchini, and Red Pepper Relish

Makes approximately 3 ½ cups

A great addition to beef burgers or mix with leafy greens for a summer salad.

5 to 6 fresh corn cobs, depending on size
½ medium sized zucchini
½ red bell pepper
1 large pinch of tumeric
½ tsp. (2.5 mL) cumin
2 Tbsp.(30 mL) Dijon mustard
1 tsp. (5 mL) kosher salt
½ tsp. (2.5 mL) black pepper
½ cup (120 mL) cider vinegar
¼ cup (60 mL) white sugar (if corn is very sweet, decrease by 1 Tbsp.(15 mL))

Remove corn kernels from cobs and scrape out seeds from middle of zucchini. Chop red pepper and zucchini to approximately the size of the corn kernels, keeping zucchini separate.

Place all ingredients, except zucchini, in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add zucchini and simmer for another 6 to 8 minutes. If you prefer a less crunchy relish, cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes.

The relish will keep in the fridge for 2 weeks. It can also be put in jars and canned using traditional methods.
