When I was a little girl, I watched my grandmother and mother cooking and canning fruits and vegetables for many years when growing up in Austria and spending my summers in Poland. My family had a big orchard with various fruit trees and and a vegetable garden. To ensure having fruits and vegetables during the cold winters, we canned whatever we harvested (mostly apples, plums, peaches, cucumbers) in huge glass jars and stored them in the basement. It was a lifestyle - a lifestyle of healthy living and using whatever was given to us by nature.

This experience made me always passionate about eating and cooking food. What I especially loved was eating fruits; a passion I am sharing with my mom until this day 🙂

It wasnʻt until the COVID Pandemic hit, that my mom and I started cooking and preserving fruits together. Faszinated by the tropical taste of Hawaiian Mangoes and Pineapples, we started making jams together. To ensure that the great taste of the fruit is kept authentic, I experimented with using very little sugar.

Most jams are loaded (up to 75%) with sugar, high fructose corn syrup, grape juice or other non healthy sugar alternative. For me, it was important to support the fruit taste with pure 100 % organic cane sugar. Only up to 5g of sugar is used in any of my homemade jams.

Is it a jam or a fruit spread? Technically, a jam is called a jam because of its very high sugar content. Since my products are low in sugar, I call them fruit spreads. This doesnʻt limit them to be used as a spread only. The opposite is the case:

My fruit spreads taste wonderful in baked pastries, cocktails, on cheesecake, BBQʻs (Use my Pineapple spread as a glaze) or of course, on your morning toast, pancake, croissants or waffles.

I hope that you enjoy the authentic Hawaiian taste of my fruit spreads. Thank you for supporting me and my family with purchasing products from my online shop or from any of the featured retail stores!
