Welcome to Jamberry!

Jam making has a long history in the culture of human society: it records the secrets of war, courtly intrigue, the birth of democracy, the evolution of medicine, and the education of Europe by our courtly Persian fathers. Our most famous philosphers, scientists, physicians, and historians have in fact developed and recorded their own jam recipes. This list of famous Jam-makers includes Nostradamus, Discorides, Apicus, Hippocrates, Galen, and Celsius, as well as a number of unnamed Abbasid scholars.

The world's first known book of recipes Of Culinary Matters written by the Roman gastronome Marcus Gavius Apicius in the first century, includes recipes for fruit preserves. After years of evolution, a trip through the Medieval Physicians circle, wars on the Silk Road, the Crusades, the Ottomans, and Colonialism, by the late 17th Century books devoted entirely to Jam making were being published in the United States. Today regarded more as a fragant and sweet delicacy than a medicine or store of the fruit of one's land, the origins of Jam are in fact as, not only a way to preserve the most fragile fruits of the harvest, but in the electuaries of the Mesopotamian pharmacopia.

From ancient Melomeli to modern day Artisinal Jams, the uniqueness, methods, values, and therapuetic qualities of jam, as well as the delightful fragrance and taste, continue to delight all ages.
