When we say Original, we mean it. This is based on a real 1920s recipe by the grandfather of  one of our partners- he was better known as the Popcorn Man, who became a regular at carnivals and fairs during the Great Depression, and who’s innovation led to some pretty remarkable popcorn flavors and even a few patents. This recipe still shines, ninety years later.

What kind of preserves company doesn't have a Strawberry flavor? Well, we didn't..but we we do now! Truth is, we love Strawberry Jam..so much that it took us a long time to come up with a recipe that we thought was better than what is already out there, and there are lots. After a lot of experimenting, we have perfected our take on Strawberry. Starting with strawberries we added some freshly crushed black pepper, some fresh from the garden basil, and some homemade lemon deeply infused limoncello from our Hotchkiss favorites, Peak Spirits / Jack Rabbit Hill Farms and their Organic CapRock Vodka. 

Ingredients: Strawberries, Organic CapRock Vodka, lemon zest and juices, black pepper, pure cane sugar, and basil.

Product: Colorado Whiskey Peach Deliciousness (2.75 oz.) 

Colorado Whiskey Peach is the flavor that got this whole crazy road trip rolling. This is our signature and original flavor from a 15 year process of recipe perfection, the flavor that won the Blue Ribbon at the Denver County Fair and to this date our most popular flavor. Maybe it’s the sweet, sweet, peaches we get from Colorado’s hidden valley of Paonia; maybe it’s the perfected bourbon whiskey from Colorado’s own Laws Whiskey House, maybe its the fresh sustainable Madagascar vanilla from Lafaza, or maybe it’s just the perfect combination of these things that makes you feel like it’s a perfect sunny, breezy summertime afternoon that stretches to forever. 

Ingredients: Fresh peaches, a strong pour of Laws Whiskey, fresh squeezed lime juice, freshly minced Madagascar Vanilla bean, heaps of pure cane sugar, a bit of pectin and a dash of Almond Extract
