The tiny village of Oakhaven had always been quiet. That was until “Mrs. Higgins’s Amazing Apple Butter” became a sensation. Sarah stared at the jars, gleaming on the shelves of the local shop, a wave of pure glee coursing through her.

She had given the recipe to Mrs. Higgins years ago, a kind neighbor who had requested it. She'd since forgotten about it. Now, people were clamoring for it! Tourists were flocking to Oakhaven, just for a taste. She closed her eyes, imagining the sweet, tart aroma.

She felt a giddy impulse to jump up and down. Instead, she wandered around the shop, observing the customers' reactions. Their delighted faces fueled her joy. It was wonderful, utterly wonderful.
