That's my Jam!™ started late in 2008 when a friend went overboard while apple picking in upstate New York. Knowing that I make a damn fine apple pie, she passed on almost thirty pounds of organic apples. As much as friends and neighbors would have loved to help me eat ten pies, I opted to find a better use for this bounty. I experimented with recipes for apple butter and taught myself how to can with a little help from the internet. Later that same autumn my Brooklyn backyard garden produced way more habanero chilis than I anticipated so I decided to toy around with a recipe for habanero jelly. People liked my jellies so much that they suggested selling them and the rest is history.

I'm constantly perfecting favorite recipes and looking for new ones. I use raw sugar when flavor appropriate and local or organic fruit as often as possible. Only fresh natural ingredients are used in the making of That's my Jam! There are never any artificial sweeteners, preservatives, or colorings used in the making of any of these products. Some flavors may run out during the winter months because fruit tastes better and is available locally when it's in season and no matter how much I try to build a reserve demand always seems to exceed supply.
