Strawberry
Oxnard berries cooked down until they taste like the first warm day of the year. Bright, jammy, barely sweet.

Seven flavors, cooked in small batches from California berries — coastal Oxnard strawberries and more from around Santa Rosa. We run out when we run out. That’s the deal with doing it by hand.
The flavors
Each one is a single small batch from California fruit. Mix and match into a box — minimum two for delivery.
Oxnard berries cooked down until they taste like the first warm day of the year. Bright, jammy, barely sweet.
The same coastal strawberries with a whisper of lavender from the garden. Floral, never soapy — we tested it on each other first.
Whatever's ripe that week, cooked together — usually berry on berry on blackberry. No two batches taste quite alike.
Slow-cooked so the berries keep their skins and their snap. Spoonable, a little wild, good straight off the spoon.
Only when the tree gives them up — late summer, if we're lucky. Deep, honeyed, a little sticky. Preorder and we'll tell you when the next batch is on.
Sweet up front, slow heat after. The one you set on a cheese board and then can't stop talking about.
Dark, seedy in the good way, just tart enough to keep you honest. The one Matthew won't share.
The jamily
JAAM started the way most good things in our house do — too much fruit and a free afternoon. Allison cooked the first batch of strawberries down on the stove. The rest of us mostly ate the results and offered opinions; the opinions made it into the recipes.
We still make it the same way. Small pots, real fruit, nothing we can’t pronounce. The name is just us —
