 It's that time of year again- Summer- that gloriously prolific time of year that a jam maker knows is a limited time to capture and somehow contain as much of the variety of fruit that the season brings us. As romantic as it sounds it is sometimes a frantic chase, especially in the first weeks here in California where Apricots, Cherries & early Plums such as Santa Rosas are here and then BOOM they're gone!  This year is especially challenging due to the overwhelming drought here, where most of the country gets it's plethora of produce. Berries like Olallieberries (an increasingly rare once common berry for our area) Boysenberries and others ingredients like Rhubarb seem to be scarce or require lots more legwork in tracking down. The fun part so far has been visiting my favorite farms like Crystal Bay Farm and Casalegno Family Farm, harvesting peaches, plums and berries and trading jams for my customer's personal harvested abundance!
