Lala's Jams — Organic Apricot Jam

This year's organic apricots from Patterson, forty minutes down the road, in a jar with almost no sugar.

Three ingredients: organic apricots from Blossom Hill Farms in Patterson, organic cane sugar and lemon juice. The sugar is under two percent of the jar. Apricots are naturally rich in vitamin A and fiber, and when they are not buried in sugar they taste bright, a little tart and a little floral. Cooked in small batches so the fruit sets on its own.

Who this is for

• You want jam that tastes like the fruit stand, not the candy aisle
• Anyone watching sugar who still wants something on their toast
• Kids' lunches, yogurt bowls and oatmeal
• Cheese boards: apricot with brie or a sharp cheddar

• 8 oz reusable glass jar

Made eight or nine jars at a time by Leslie "Lala" Goodrich at LALA's Jam Bar in Petaluma, California, with fruit grown right here in the Central Valley.
