When life gives you lemons, do you just make lemonade? Why not marmalade? My shop actually began with too many lemons from my one AMAZING Arizona Lemon tree!

Enjoying Arizona SUNSHINE, the wonderful aroma from my citrus trees in my backyard have become the focus of my shop. Here, Lemons, Oranges & Grapefruits droop with Gorgeous ripe fruit around the holidays! Particularly one "Special" lemon tree continues to over produce more lemons than I know what to do with! So besides giving many away, to neighbors & friends, I started experimenting with using lemons in many recipes for us and YOU, including my SWEET & TANGY Classic Lemon Marmalade! Since then,my Arizona Marmalade Shop has become a SWEET way to "SPREAD THE LOVE."

As for me, I am, a one person shop and an East coast transplant enjoying my Arizona citrus and jam-making on TOO many fine sunny days!

My jam-marmalade making is not just a new skill I acquired, but one honed in my youth. Growing up, I helped my Mom make jams in upstate New York for our family owned country store. My Mom's specialties included --Apple Butter, Peach jam, and many many berry jams---Strawberry, -Mulberry, Blackberry, Current and Wild cherry , to name a few-Some flavors found in my store, are just like my Mom-made!

After High School, I went on to college, graduated with my B.S. and M.S in Education. I am a former NYS Home Economics Educator, and Foods Teacher of 20 years. When we moved to AZ, I added a certification in Biology. I currently teach HS School Biology here and run my ETSY shop part-time during the school year and full-time in the Summer. That is why I LOVE and appreciate your early reservations for your wedding favor orders! So to reward YOU and me, I offer EARLY BIRD discounts. I hope you will take advantage of it and Book early!

I am blessed with a wonderful husband, and two young adult children finishing their college careers soon. I love ETSY, making my jams and marmalade, creating new flavors, and favors that involve design and customization. I can't wait to assist and help you with your order. I look forward to serving you soon!
