Jam season at The Quail & Thistle Tea Room has begun with our first batch of cherry jam this past weekend.
Cindy picked up a carload of organic cherries from a local vendor at the Santa Cruz farmer’s market, spent most of a day pitting them, and another day over the stove making jam and vacuum packing the jars in the hot water bath. I’m now printing labels for several new cases of our own Cherry Jam!
Our jars this year are a stylish hexagonal clear glass and feature a one-piece “popup” safety button lid to prove freshness.
Our jams and jellies are $7 per 8oz jar and can be purchased in the tea room. We can also take orders by phone and ship jams anywhere in the US for as little as $1.20 / jar (case quantity).
Mention your interest in purchasing jams when booking your tea room reservation. We’ll set your requested jams aside so they will be ready for you when you arrive for tea.
