Description

Our Taiwanese fruit preserves are just that—Taiwanese fruit and not much else. They’re so fresh, we almost wouldn’t call them jam; they're closer to a fruit sauce than to jelly. They feature large chunks of fruit, are lower in sugar than conventional versions, and are prepared in micro-batches to ensure the gentlest of processing.

We work with Dolly and Chin, jam makers in Taipei, who make these by hand in small quantities (we’re talking stockpot size) to preserve the nuances and aroma of the fresh fruit.

This Red Guava Jam is made with guava grown by a self-taught fruit farmer who is close friends with the jam makers. They're ripened until tender, and the entire fruit—juice, fibers, seeds, and all—is simmered with sugar and lemon juice over a low flame until the natural pectin inside it is released.

We are delighted by the pure intensity of the guava aroma and the poppy-red color of the preserve, interspersed with flecks of yellow-green. Perfect for spooning over a scone with crème fraîche.

About Our Jams

The jams we offer are a bit different than conventional spreads, which are typically firmly set and may use pectin as a gelling agent to achieve that uniform consistency. Ours are somewhere between juice and jam, between compote and preserve. No gelling agents are used, other than the pectin present in the fruits themselves, and the texture is much closer to fruit than jelly. And they are all-natural too: only fruit, lemon juice, and sugar are used in their preparation. The result is juicy and pulpy, heady with flavor and fragrance. But also lighter and less sweet than a regular jam.

We feel these jams capture the essence of Taiwanese fruits. They’re a perfect topping for toasts, biscuits, yogurt, oatmeal, and ice cream. Add them to baked goods, smoothies, cocktails, cakes, or even savory dressings and sauces—anything that needs a delicate note of fruit.

Working with Friends

Dolly and Chin have been in the business of fruit for multiple generations, and are friends with many farmers. When they first started out, they spent summers working on farms to study how fruits are grown and harvested, in pursuit of perfect jam.

More Fruit than Jam

With no added gelling agent, our jams are loose in texture, featuring large chunks of fruit, processed gently to capture their freshness. They're spoonable and spreadable, and make a great topping for breads, ice cream, yogurt, or a green tea pound cake.

Only fruit, sugar, and lemon juice

The fruit is hand peeled and stewed whole or in large pieces to preserve texture and pulp. Only sugar—a natural preservative—and lemon juice—lemons are green in Taiwan—are added. The fruits are slow cooked to encourage the release of their own natural pectin, which sets the jam.

Prepared in Microbatches

They make the jams in small batches as a matter of preference and principle, cooking it over portable butane burners (yes, the same kind you may use for hosting hot pot at home). The little stoves provide more sensitive control over flame, and the stockpot is the optimal size for preserving the nuances of the fruit.
