Located in Downtown Brookston, Indiana is Two Cookin' Sisters, a small specialty food company co-owned by sisters, Kristi Robinson Rensberger and Kim Robinson. Purdue University graduates & 10-year 4-H members, the sisters decided to put their backgrounds in food and marketing into building Two Cookin' Sisters. Their mother, Carolyn Robinson, also a Purdue graduate and the girls' onetime 4-H leader, works at the stove and offers her endless support and love for jam!

Their first product, Big Sister Salsa, is a pepper-based salsa with a very unique flavor. The first bite reveals a fresh, sweet taste that gives way to some tantalizing heat! The recipe includes the freshest and the best combination of sweet peppers, hot peppers and all the in-between peppers. Big Sister Salsa was introduced to the salsa-crazed public in September 2001 at the Apple-Popcorn Festival in Brookston. Two Cookin' Sisters have been cookin' ever since!

Two Cookin' Sisters product line has grown over the years and now includes, Craizinutapple Butter, Sweet Dill Pickles, many, many jams, relishes, bags of spicy nuts, granola & salad dressings. "We believe that all good food should be shared and enjoyed by all. Our recipes are made with quality ingredients, a little sense of humor and with a love for good food. How can you go wrong with a food gift? It's always the right color and the right size!"
