Growing up in Massachusetts, our family spent most of the summer harvesting strawberries, blueberries and rhubarb to turn them into wonderful pies and jams. My Sicilian Grandmother always had a full canning cupboard down in her basement filled to the brim with plum jam, strawberry jam and all sorts of pickles, canned tomatoes, sauces and Italian delicacies. My husband hails from Scotland, where we spend our summers picking strawberries and raspberries and enjoying the most wonderful jams, compotes and crumbles. So one could say that starting a business to share our bounty is a natural thing for me.
Every year our family spends our time hiking and seeking that one perfect orange tree, filled with juicy, tart fruit and we go home and eat them. Plundering the Northwest Open Space in San Juan, we pillage the last remnants of the San Juan orange tree tradition. We've been given lemons, figs and oranges.
In Scotland, jam is a matter of pride. You can live and die by your recipes. The beautiful and bountiful products that are sourced from our local trees comprise the ingredients that go into the Capistrano Jam Company's local products.
Fresh, local, organic, and simple--This is home canning at its finest and its roots are based in the Southern California fruit tradition.
Simple, organic and fresh ingredients are the basis of Capistrano Jam’s preserving tradition. We cook in small batches capturing the flavor and sweetness of this season’s fresh picks. We buy fruit and vegetables from family farms and local producers and that means,
the jam we serve is picked and jarred right away, delivering freshness you can taste.
Give the gift of homemade jam. Whether you are throwing a corporate event, birthday, bridal shower or a wedding, for 20 or for 200, a small batch of delicious jam makes a darling favor for any party.
