*growing organic fruit in the NE is very hard, and therefore there are very few farms that do it, hence the inclusion of low-spray. We feel that local trumps organic: support your local farms!

Say it out loud and it’s pretty funny: “umami shiso fine”. Say it with a little swagger, maybe a slight Puerto Rican or Dominican accent.
Our newest invention in the Anarchy kitchens is UMAMI SHISO FINE MUSTARD, and it’s just what it sounds like: umami + shiso. How do we make it? We take mustard seeds [...]
It’s true, we cheated on jam with ketchup and mustard. It started as a simple tryst and ended with a full-blown affair. The mustard will soon be available at most of the stores where we sell the jam, and the ketchup is exclusive to whole foods.They are available at all the Northeast stores in New [...]

Winter is so boring, especially for fruit nerds like us. But we fought the blues by creating a new flavor, Fig + Onion Jam, and we think you’re going to like it. Laena is a big fan of savory + sweet condiments, ones that can flirt with cheese but stand on their own too. We [...]
Or you can buy these rad ones on Etsy!
I love hearing the ways people reuse our jam jars — salad dressing shaker, shot glass, and spice storage are some of my favs. But the most fun, creative and splashy? Making snow globes. How awesome are snow globes? As a little girl, I used to [...]
It’s that time of the year again. Time to eat well, get cozy, spend time with friends and family, and give the gift of jam. Jam makes an awesome hostess gift and is pretty exciting when pulled from a stocking on Christmas morning. You can find the jam at your favorite grocery or cheese shop, [...]
The jams got a little bored just being in New York and the tri-state, so they’ve packed their bags and made their way to select Anthropologie stores nationwide, and online. Check out their new “pantry” section, it’s a pretty awesome selection of tasty goods (and yes, many items are from our Brooklyn gang of makers).
There was lots of blushing and and whoops of joy in the Anarchy kitchen when we saw our Tipsy Quince & Cranberry Chutney featured in the November issue of Saveur.
If you would like to try the chutney, you can find it at our market booths at Smorgasburg (Williamsburg on Saturdays and Dumbo on Sundays) and [...]
I apologize to all the folks who’ve been asking for classes this summer, but they’re back for fall! And this time, I’m teaching in our professional kitchen at the secret Anarchy in a Jar headquarters. This class will be super fun! And it ends with a jam, cheese, wine/beer pairing (i.e., snacks).
ABOUT THE CLASS:
Do you [...]
towers of boxes, ready to be filled with jam
Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah!
I know, you may still be wearing shorts and the leaves haven’t even turned colors yet, but in the Anarchy Headquarters (AH), the elves are already hard at work to make sure store shelves are stocked with jam for the holidays.
