Plum and Thyme Jam

With a generous growing season and endless western sun, great fruit in LA is a given. And Sqirl Jam's delicate, artful preparations truly lets the fruit shine through. They use heirloom varietals whenever possible, all from family-owned farms  Even the pots the jam is made in are hand spun by a local coppersmith.

Rich and tangy, the Santa Rosa plum is – according to the LA Times, at least – the gold standard of California plums. Not widely available commercially because it isn't as hearty as other plums, it's flavor is unbeatable. Sqirl captures it at its peak and adds a little flowering thyme, just enough to create something special but not overpower the plum.
