Blenheim Apricot Jam

welovejam blenheim apricot jam 9 oz jar

This is the jam that started it all. We made it for the first time in July 2002 using fruit from our backyard tree. For many years this was a summer hobby because friends and family loved it so much. On a lark, we sent a jar to Food & Wine magazine and were surprised when they wrote in the February 2007 issue "Jam is simply the best jam we've ever tasted."

After receiving thousands of emails from people around the world wanting to buy it, we decided to start a jam business with absolutely no prior business or food manufacturing experience (yes we were crazy, but that is another story).

This exquisite jam has a ripe, intense apricot flavor with a silky smooth consistency since we never use pectin to firm up our jam or marmalade. Our apricot jam has a looser consistency than store bought, pectin-laced apricot jam.

$12 per jar.

kumquat marmalade

Making kumquat marmalade has been an annual tradition we have been doing for 18 years. We are probably the only company that makes commercial kumquat marmalade because it is labor intensive to remove all the seeds individually. However, unlike the Seville or bergamont oranges normally used for marmalade, the kumquats offer a super fresh and tantelizing citrus flavor that is unmatched in my opinion (and marmalade is my favorite preserve).

However, kumquats are small fruits with thin skin and are picked in January and February in California. This coincides with our rainy season and if the fruit gets too wet it will rot on the tree. It also cannot be picked when wet or it will rot almost immediately after. Cold weather can freeze the fruit and ruin it. Increasingly our grower had lost fruit and we have struggled to find kumquats. This is finally a good year.

9 oz jar $14 per jar. Sold out.

kumquat apricot jam

welovejam fukushu kumquat apricot jam 9 oz jar

Tangy kumquats are combined with ripe apricots to create a favorite among our customers. It is half a marmalade and half a jam with a beautiful vibrant orange color and a taste to match.

fleur de sel caramel sauce

welovejam fleur de sel caramel sauce 9 oz jar

This is a very special caramel sauce we make in small batches - 60 jars. Made using the very best local butter and cream, fleur de sel (French sea salt) and the finest vanilla money can buy, it is simply the gold standard for caramel sauce.

fleur de sel caramel sauce $14 per jar.

 

passion fruit fleur de sel caramel sauce

 

Many moons ago we used to make a passion fruit caramel candy that was so incredible. But it was too much work cutting out the bars and wrapping them so we stopped making it. Easier, is to just cook it up and put it in a jar! Well, that is what I thought when I set out to make this. However, it proved extremely problematic, and I spent over a week trying to make this successfully and had to throw everything away after endless disasters. Then, I tried one last time, and made a math mistake that turned out to be the key to success. It has twice the cream and twice the passion fruit in it, and boy is this intense. Made using the very best local butter and cream, passion fruit puree, fleur de sel (French sea salt) it is simply the gold standard for caramel sauce.

passion fruit fleur de sel caramel sauce $20 per jar.

 

blackberry vanilla jam

This is a very early jam we made before we started as a company. In 2002, we discovered a swath of wild blackberry bushes up in Tilden park in the Berkeley hills and picked about two grocery bags full. Back at home we cooked them up with a touch a vanilla and it was a huge hit with our friends and family.

This is our most popular flavor.

The blackberry seeds have not been removed because research has shown seeds to be packed with healthful compounds. So just like quinoa, chia, sesame seeds - blackberry seeds are very good for you!

jar blackberry vanilla jam $12.

Discount case $132.

blackberry strawberry vanilla jam

This is truely a delicious jam. It is our blackberry vanilla jam but with the addition of strawberries and the combination of these two berries is fantastic. Vanilla is a natural way to sweeten without adding any sugar or calories, so we can lessen the sugar in this jam (like the blackberry vanilla) but it still has a nice sweet flavor. This is so fragrant that once you pop open the jar you are immersed in the most beautiful perfume of berries! Then you taste it. Oh wow. This is our newest creation and I know it will be a top seller.

blackberry strawberry vanilla jam $12 per jar.

Discount case $120 (normally $132).

Black Currant Jelly

welovejam extra large capers from the aeolian islands 9 oz jar

Black currants, as well as red currents below, are a rarity in the jam and jelly world of the USA - because they are illegal (blame the big bucks of the timber industry). Yes, only the USA is dumb enough to ban this delicious fruit for a stupid reason. You can look it up. Both the black and red have a delicate, sweet tart flavor, are packed with antioxidants and are traditionally used in savory dishes and sauces as well as in desserts. A thick jelly full of goodness.

feijoa jam

welovejam feijoa jam 9 oz jar

We make a small amount of this feijoa (pineapple guava) jam each year. For 2009 we made 14 jars. In 2010 we over extended ourselves and made 200 and that will never happen again. This year the fruit was two months late and we made 75 jars. It takes around six hours to make 30 jars which is simply crazy. This year we devoted 4 days to making the jam. The fruit is the size of a lime and must be cut in half and the hard inner flesh scooped out with a spoon.

However, the flavor is an intoxicating guava citrusy flavor. We are the only company in the U.S. that makes this type of jam.

jar is $30 - email to get on waiting list.

raspberry, mango, passion fruit jam

 

welovejam raspberry mango passion fruit jam 9 oz jar

We have put to good use our many years of creating one-of-a-kind flavors and this is one of our best. Succulent raspberries are mixed with semi-ripe mangos and just the perfect amount of passion fruit that ups the tartness and accentuates the tropical tidal wave of flavors that will wash over your happy tongue. Low in sugar so you can eat the whole jar guilt free! Note - this has seeds, but they add a nice nutty toasty element and research has shown seeds to be packed with healthful compounds - just like quinoa - also a seed, or sesame seeds - are very good for you!

strawberry rose jam

welovejam strawberry rose jam 9 oz jar

This is a very special jam that takes a long time to make, but the final result is worth it! The flavor of the rose is just right and complements the strawberry perfectly. Many rose flavored food products are very perfumy, so our goal was to avoid this. In a recent tasting we did, it was one of the top favorites among middle school students - which says a lot!

montmorency cherry apricot

welovejam tart cherry apricot jam 9 oz jar

If you love cherries, and especially tart cherries, this is a jam for you. We use Montmorency cherries which are the traditional tart cherry we all grew up eating in cherry pie and ice cream. They are very tart so they are always mixed with sugar. However, we get ours in their raw state (frozen and pitted since we don't have the resources to pit cherries) and mix in just a touch of our apricot jam as a sweetner. This is a low sugar jam. We make this in small batches and there is a surprising amount of cherries in each jar.

The flavor is an intense cherry with a wonderful lingering aftertaste of apricots. Feedback from people who have tasted this is simply ecstatic. $14 per jar.

Was featured in Martha Stewart Living magazine March 2020.

peach & bourbon jam

welovejam peach and bourbon jam 9 oz jar

We have been trying to make a peach jam for a very long time, but nothing ever seems worthy to sell. Peaches when cooked can be cloyingly sweet. Finally we have a peach jam unlike any other and boy is it delicious.

We use California yellow peaches and cook them in some lemon juice and zest, some cane sugar, a splash of bourbon and a hint of holiday spices. This is a wonderfully complex flavor bomb when you put it in your mouth: peaches, spices, and deep down under it all the bourbon which is added in a tiny amount and enhances the flavors. This is turning out to be a very popular jam so you have to give it a try. The alcohol from the bourbon is cooked out so this is a booze free jam.

Contains no alcohol. It is boiled off completely in the cooking.

blenheim apricot bing cherry jam

welovejam apricot and bing cherry jam 9 oz jar

We first made this back in the days before this business was started. We would make the annual apricot jam from our backyard Blenheim apricot tree, and then a tiny bit of aprioct jam mixed with bing cherries. We personally perferred the apricot cherry, but it was difficult to make pitting the cherries. Now, after nearly 8 years, we have figured out how to make this jam much easier and you get to benefit! The flavor is exquisite - first you taste the apricot and then the bing cherry washes over your tongue and lingers. This is fantastic with cheese, as a topping on ice cream and cheese cake. You can stuff crepes with it, mix it into your yogurt or simply eat with with a spoon. The possibilites are endless...

blueberry jam

with a hint of lemon

welovejam blueberry lemon jam 9 oz jar

Who doesn't like blueberries? Not only are they so delicious, but they are so good for you. Packed with anti-oxidants in the skin as well as powerful nutrients in the tiny seeds, blueberries are an important part of a healthy diet. The inspiration for this jam was a cone of blueberry lemon ice cream I had a few years back in Los Angeles. The combination of lemon flavored ice cream swirled with blueberry ice cream was a relevation. We make this jam with very little added sugar, since blueberries, like peaches and strawberries, get sweet when you cook them. We add a little dash of lemon juice to brighten the flavor. If you are a blueberry lover, you gotta try this!

apricot almond jam

welovejam apricot almond jam 9 oz jar

One of our favorite summer desserts to make is an apricot galette with frangipane. Almonds and apricots pair so well together, it is a wonder it took us so long to make a jam out of these two incredible ingredients. Our famous apricot jam is cooked with a small amount of our own almond paste made from organic, California raw almonds. The final product is a truely exquisite jam unlike anything you have ever tasted. First you taste the almonds, then the apricot takes over and at the end you have a wonderful finish of the two flavors combined. jar is $12 Sold out.

Super Tart Cherry/Grapefruit

welovejam tart cherry grapefruit jam 9 oz jar

We take tart Montmorency cherries and team them up with a touch of pink grapefruit to create an incredibly delicious jam unlike any you have ever tasted. This jam was included in Food & Wine's Top Ten Objects of our Obsession in 2012. We are the only company that makes this flavor combination, and a special recipe that we came up with concentrates the fruit flavors unlike any other jam. The texture is also very thick and the reduced cherries have the most spectacular consistency. Unfortunately it takes a ton of cherries to make this and a lot of prep work with the fruit. We used to charge $15 a jar for this and probably still should should but we are too nice so it is less now. This is also a very low sugar jam. If you prefer less sweet foods, and love tart then this jam is for you! jar is $16 - SOLD OUT

strawberry mango passion fruit jam

welovejam strawberry mango passion fruit jam 9 oz jar

This is Eric's mom's favorite flavor! It is a mix luscious strawberries with semi-ripe mango and some passion fruit to up the tartness since strawberries get very sweet when you cook them. This is a low sugar jam and the waves of flavor from these three fruits are amazing to taste. This jam has a higher percentage of strawberries than the other two fruits so all you strawberry jam purists will be happy!

We simply love mangos and it was only a matter of time before we came up with a mango jam. We combine semi-ripe mangos, fresh lime juice and just a touch of sugar making it perfectly tangy. It is super thick and chunky. While not too many people have had mango jam and this is not as popular as more traditional flavors, this is some of our customers' favorite jam, and you should give it a try!

Ketchup

welovejam san francisco style ketchup 16 oz jar

We make this classic, traditional, yummy ketchup from California-grown tomatoes. Unlike other brands that use genetically modified tomatoes ours are GMO free and full of flavor. And unlike those big brands that use high fructose corn syrup we use cane sugar which makes a world of a difference in taste. Cider vinegar, over white vinegar, gives it a nice fruity flavor. We call this our San Francisco style ketchup because this city is famous for food and our ketchup lives up the the reputation. We spent many years tasting different brands of ketchup to get this just right. Over the years we have modified it and discovered most ketchup brands use highly concentrated tomato paste which can have an almost sour taste, requiring lots of sugar. We use pureed tomatoes and the advantage is a more fresh tomato flavor and not having to add as much sugar. We have customers who are ketchup addicts tell us it is the best they ever tried. One customer who is from Pittsburgh, PA, the birthplace of Heinz, and where everyone puts ketchup on everything, said it just blew his mind. We hate to say it, but this is how ketchup is supposed to taste.

16 oz jar $9. Sold out until April.

everything bbq sauce

After many years I have created a new bbq sauce. This is based on my love for Okonomiyaki sauce - a sweet, tangy, savory, and not spicy sauce popular in Japan. The advantage of this sauce is unlike western style bbq sauces that have heat in then, this doesn't so it can pair well with many more foods and you can have it for breakfast on eggs - my favorite!. Okonomiyaki is not a bbq sauce, since it is used as a topping for a popular Japanese savory pancake filled with all kinds of veggies, seafood and/or meat. However, it has similar ingredients and I think with my own interpretation we can call it a BBQ sauce. This is great for grilling, or just dousing on any type of meat or veggies. Because it is so delicious and pairs so well, I call it everything sauce.

It does have Worcestershire sauce in it, a key ingredient in Okonomiyaki and gives this sauce a very unique taste - so if you have fish allergies (anchovies) you cannot eat it.

bbq sauce

welovejam bbq sauce 16 oz jar

We've been making this highly addictive sauce/dip for ourselves and tinkering with the recipe since 1999. Not just for bbqs, this can be used instead of ketchup and as a general sauce/dip for any kind of meat or vegetables. We use it in sandwiches, as a dip for fries and roasted potatoes, on burgers and hot dogs. You can even make meat loaf with it. One dish we love to make is pulled bbq chicken or turkey sandwichs with coleslaw as they do in North Carolina - search online lots of recipes! If you are vegetarian, it is perfect seasoning for a wide variety of dishes. Just be creative! It is delicious all year round.

Not too spicy, but not too mild. It is a perfect combination of spices, heat, sweetness and tang. The complex, addictive flavor is due to our use of more than seven types of chilies and peppers, and many, many spices. Just measuring out all the ingredients takes an hour! Read the rave review by Food & Wine magazine about it.

Our bbq sauce is gluten free and contains California grown GMO-free tomatoes. It does contain soy since gluten free soy sauce is one of the ingredients.

spiced molasses bbq sauce

welovejam spiced molasses bbq sauce 16 oz jar

Bbq sauce is something sublime when you find one this good. My bbq sauce obsession started around 1993 when I lived down the street from a bbq joint on Divisadero street in San Francisco called Brother in Laws. Their bbq sauce was so delicious I just craved it all the time. Their peach cobbler was also outstanding. I could get half a chicken, two slices of bread, and two sides for about $5. Boy was that a bargain! I ate there once a week for many years until the owner sold the business to one of his employees who had the nerve to change the receipe for the sauce and I never went back. Still to this day I can taste that sauce in my mind, and guess what? I still cannot recreate it. I guess memories of delicious things from our past just cannot be topped.

So this sauce is my attempt to make my own addictive sauce, and guess what? I am addicted to it!

This fantastic bbq sauce is so delicious you can eat it straight out of the jar with a spoon. No kidding. It is based around molasses, dark cane sugar, a good amount of cider vinegar for tang and the addition of bourbon, espresso, fresh apple cider, our famous ketchup and a variety of spices and peppers. One of the spices is a five spice blend, which gives it just the faintest anise flavor from the fennel and star anise. It has more heat to it than our other bbq sauce. When I am too tired to cook, I will grab a rotisserie chicken at the supermarket and just dip the meat into this sauce. No matter how much sauce I pour on the plate, it is never enough. Delicious!

Special Blenheim Apricot Jam

picking the best apricots

This is our special summer Blenheim apricot jam. Unlike the standard Blenheim apricot below, that uses field run apricots (a mix of ripe, semi-ripe and green fruit) the special apricot we make in a very small amount using only ripe fruit we hand select. Eric above is picking out apricots for this jam at the farm.

The difference in flavor is more intense. Due to the fragile nature of ripe Blenehims that need to be processed very quickly, we can only make a small amount these days due to high demands in the summer for all our other products. 2023 was a total crop failure. We were lucky to get priority and get enough fruit to meet customer demand. This is a very special offering so stock up! In order to maximize the fruit and make enough, we didn't cook the jam as long as usual to thicken it. It is more runny. But you can thicken it quickly by dumping it in a small sauce pan, boiling about 30 seconds and then dumping back in the jar if you want.

lingonberry jam

 

Lingonberries are a tiny, tart superfood. Packed with antioxidants and vitamin C, they taste similar to a cranberry, but far better. They are popular in eastearn and northern europe where they grow wild. Often served with savory foods, they do just as well on toast, stirred into yoghurt and oatmeal, and used in desserts. We especially like them with buttery pastries where their sharp crisp flavor pair well.

Shelf life: 2 years. Ships Nov.

Pumpkin Blossom Honey

 

I first encounted pumpkin blossom honey many years ago in the late 1990s at the old Embarcadero farmers market here in San Francisco. Yes, this was the market that moved to the Ferry Building when it opened and I still miss that scrapy market so much. A bee keeper was selling a range of local honey and when I tried the pumpkin, I immediately purchased a jar. After a few years they never had it in stock, saying it was only collected in small amounts and I was lucky to have gotton the jars I did. Nearly two decades went buy without any luck sourcing this special honey until recently I found a bee keeper up north who now provides us this magical honey. He explained pumpkin blossom honey is hard to find because around the time bee keepers are medicating their bees the pumpkin crop is flowering, so few are reluctant to bring their hives to pumpkin farms to collect this amazingly delicious honey. Another fact. Most people who grow pumpkins also grow a variety of squash, so pumpkin blossom honey is a mix of pumpkin and squash. I will quote my mom who was simply astounded when she first tasted it saying, "its so rich and creamy its almost like caramel!"

Yellow Gooseberry Jam

(cape gooseberry or goldenberry)

This extraordinary jam is made from cape gooseberries or physalis peruviana. There are different varieties of gooseberries, and these are unique because they have an outer "cape" like tomatillos, which they are related to. They are widely grown in South America, and thus do well in the California climate. The flavor is hard to describe and unlike anything else. There are notes of mango and apricot, but not quite. It is tart, fruity and has a pleasing caramel flavor. Completely unique. There are tiny crunchy seeds like in figs, that give it a nice consistency. These are extremely nutritious.

$16 per jar. sold out

mara des bois strawberry jam

quince jam - membrillo

welovejam quince jam 9 oz jar

Quince is an ancient fruit beloved by many cultures, and are famous for their smell and taste when ripe, which is a heady, fruity rose essence. They are related to apples and pears, yet are very firm and usually cooked instead of eaten raw. The more you cook quince the darker the color changes from pink to dark maroon. The jam is a seasonal treat this time of year whether spread on toast, mixed into yoghurt or yes, served with cheese, specifically manchego. It is a very firm set jam and is perfect for holiday baking. A quick search online will yield many recipes.

mariposa plum jam

welovejam mariposa plum jam 9 oz jar

After apricot season, it is plum season and the Mariposa plums are some of our favorite. A delicious plum with a uniquely delicate perfumy, floral flavor that lingers. The Mariposa, thanks to us, has been added to Slow Food USA's Ark of Taste - a list of endangered crops or food practices. We are proud to be the first company to make jam from this variety of plum. Like all our jams, pectin is never added and we make it by hand each July from fresh fruit from Blossom Bluff Orchards in Parlier, California. Eric has two favorite flavors of jam - the mariposa and the limequat. You absolutely must try this on a croissant or brioche! Also great used in a plum chocolate cookie recipe.

elephant heart plum jam

welovejam elephant heart plum jam 9 oz jar

Elephant Heart plums are very hard to find. Few people grow them since they are a difficult and unpredictable crop. But the intense, tart almost spicy flavor is among the finest of all plums. When cooked into jam or baked in desserts the flavor is amazing. These plums are also on Slow Food USA's Ark of Taste - a list of endangered crops or food practices. We are proud to be the first company to make jam from this variety of plum. Some others now do, but none as delicious as ours.

We make this from fresh fruit sourced from Blossom Bluff Orchards in Parlier, CA and only limited amounts are made since we are usually too tired from making the Blenheim apricot and Mariposa plum jams to make any more. Note, the dried elephant heart plums that Blossom Bluff sells are out of this world! Visit their site and order some!

You can make delicious plum chocolate Danish cookies with this jam.

Viking Pearl White Nectarine Jam

Ships late August

Back in 2002, almost a year ago today, while staying overnight in Grasse, France, we had the most amazing dinner at a tiny four-table restaurant on the edge of town, where the owner was the cook and waitress. For dessert I had a white peach sorbet that blew my mind and it was that stone fruit creation that was the inspiration for our apricot jam that we made for the first time a month later after we returned to the U.S.

In all the years of owning this company I never paid tribute to this until now. Why? Well, white stone fruits when cooked have a sort of pale color which isn't as beautiful as cooked darker colored fruit.

But I have decided who cares about the color, because it is the flavor that counts here, and so with a big drum roll I present our ode to Grasse and that wonderful restaurant and the sorbet.

This time I am using a viking pearl white nectarine, because I am more partial to nectarines than peaches, so while not exactly the same, in jam form it will be better because nectarines are a bit more tangy.

red gooseberry/quince jelly

This is a brand new creation and it is delicious!!! Red gooseberries are a tart anti-oxidant rich berry. Quince are a very floral almost rose tasting relative of apples and pears. By combining the gooseberries with quince jelly you get the most tantalizing flavor - sort of like a tart strawberry. We only are making a small amount so it will sell out quickly. Totaly unique!!

blackberry blossom honey

raw & unfiltered

About 20 years ago I was in San Francisco's Chinatown for dim sum and was walking through a small square with a bunch of booths set up. It was there that I discovered a woman who was a commercial bee keeper and was selling blackberry blossom honey. The flavor really was incredible, and the jar I bought from her I savored like it was the last one on earth. When I started welovejam, I tracked her down and we were going to sell her honey but for whatever reason we never did and I lost her contact information. Fast forward nearly 12 years and we are proud to offer this incredible honey from another bee keeper from Washington State, who also collects the honey from black berry crops, just as she did.

What can I say about this honey? First off, it is truely unique, the scent when you open the jar is distinctively floral, and while it is scientifically impossible for the honey to taste like blackberries, it does. Any honey lover has to have this honey, for it is one of a kind and simply delicious. I just eat a spoonfuit for maximum flavor, but adding it to yoghurt, oatmeal, baking with it etc. still does not dilute its special flavor.

quince jelly

This amazing quince jelly is made after we make the quince jam. It is very tricky to make since there is no added pectin, and the pectin levels of the fruit and how we cook it varies a little each year, making some years a success and some a dud. Luckily this year we nailed it and boy o boy is this a winner. It has less sugar than we normally use, so I have to make detailed notes for next year how I did this differently.

Not familiar with quince? Never had it? All I can say is this offshoot from the pear and apple family, and a very ancient fruit (some say it wasn't an apple in the garden of eden but a quince) has the most intriguing, delicious, fruity flavor you ever put in your mouth. It is far more concentrated in flavor than the quince jam. We only made 48 jars this year, so it won't stick around for long.

Oh, I am finally making labels for this, so if you order, it won't be an unmarked jar like in the past.

Shelf life: 1 year.

limequat marmalade

welovejam limequat marmalade 9 oz jar

 

If you are a marmalade fanatic like we are, this is a must try. We are the only company in the world to make a limequat marmalade since virtually no one grows this type of citrus. We originally made this from limequats, but the farmer who grew these tore up the trees because they didn't produce enough fruit. We improvized using kumquats and fresh lime juice and zest and have exactly matched the flavor of the original limequat.

The flavor is a pleasingly tart key lime flavor that literally dances on your tongue. It has the added complexity of the kumquat which has an orange like flavor. Out of all the products I made, this is my favorite, and I always keep a case at home to last me the year.

Like all well made marmalades, the shelf life is very long. It will darken in color over time but the flavor stays the same. If you love lime flavored foods as much as I do, I am sure you will enjoy this very special marmalade.

Shelf life: 2 years +

how Fleur de sel de Guerand

welovejam fleur de sel de guerande 9 oz jar

Salt is the a key component of seasoning food and it is ironic that so many people use highly processed salt stripped of many important trace minerals and elements. While sea salt you usually buy is a step above the mass produced stuff pulled from deep within the earth and highly processed, fleur de sel that is hand-harvested in salt marshes off the coast of Britteny, France, is definitely what you should be cooking with. The first observation when examining this salt is the irregular, granular crystals that are wet. Yes, they still retain moisture from the sea. Then you taste it. Unlike processed salts, it has a clean, non-harsh flavor that is simply delicious. While it is more expensive than other salts, and most professional chefs use it as a finishing salt, we think this is an important part of healthy living by using a minimually processed, natural salt full of important nutriants.

New Item!

100 % cacao ground chocolate

(makes the best hot chocolate!)

This ground chocolate is 100 percent, with no added sugar, and no added dairy making it vegan. It contains a small amount of almond butter and some lemon zest, and is manufactured in San Francisco by Dandelion Chocolate. The beans are sourced from the Camino Verde Cacao company in Ecuador. Since this is a super high quality ground chocolate the flavor is unique to the beans, their terroir and how they were fermented. The taste is remarkably fruity. You can use this as you would any baking chocolate, though being ground it melts very quickly, and the advantage is since it has no added sugar, you have control over sweetness of your products, whether they be a rich chocolate mousse, frosting for a cake, or for us a spiced Mexican-style hot chocolate. We include our recipe for this yummy hot chocolate on the back of the box and also some dried Chile de árbol in a separate bag inside the box if you want to make it. You can also substitute some finely ground cayanne or other pepper if you choose to play with the heat level. The joys of cooking is working from a base recipe and then going back and adjusting ratios and ingredients to make it your own. This also can be used in making mole. Email me for my quick recipe!

Comes packed 100-percent-plastic-free with biodegradable bags inside this recycled paper decorative box, with paper labels.

Ingredients: ground cacao, almond butter, lemon zest.

Shelf life: 1 year.

massaged persimmons - hoshigaki

welovejam hoshigaki 1 lb

They sure look strange, but they are so incredible to munch on. Called hoshigaki, and an old Japanese culinary tradition brought to northern California by immigrant Japanese farmers in the early part of this century, they are on the Slow Food USA Ark of Taste list of endangered foods. Why endangered? Because the time and skill required to grow and make them has limited their commercial appeal and availability to big food sellers. Each year fewer and fewer of the old timers make these. We are hoping to draw attention to this tradition and keep it alive.

Each farmer has their own secret technique and style for making these, but all are first hand peeled and hung to dry outside and massaged by hand daily for around a month until they are the perfect consistency. Some farmers dry them more than others so they each have a different consistency from farm to farm.

Since 2007 we have purchased about 50 lbs from one farmer, who has been making these as a hobby for over 20 years. He doesn't dry them out as much as most farmers do. These are still soft and orange inside, with the chewy, soft consistency of dried dates, and a delicious, delicate persimmon flavor, accentuated by the light dusting of natural fruity flavored white sugar that the massaging brings to the surface.

Available in limited supply in November and December. Packaged in a biodegradable cellophane bag.

1 lb dried, massaged, Hachiya persimmons (about 8 pieces) $36.
