Colorado Mountain Jam, Organic Vanilla Pear Colorado Mountain Organic Vanilla Pear Jam is made from ready-to-eat Bartlett pears that are full of flavor and buttery in texture. This is the jam of choice for vanilla lovers. Pears are subtle, thereby creating an ideal base for the vanilla to star. We use vanilla, not from an extract but from whole vanilla bean pods, and the seeds of the natural vanilla are recognizable in this smooth creamy jam. Vanilla—the second most expensive spice after saffron—is a flavoring derived from orchids of the genus Vanilla native to Mexico.
Ingredients: Organic Pears, Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Pectin, Organic Vanilla Bean
Our goal at Colorado Mountain Fine Jams & Jellies is to give customers the wonderful opportunity to experience all of the aroma and rich flavors of sun-ripened fresh fruit in every jar of our jams. Our small mom and pop business began in 1998 with the purchase of apricot, peach, and plum orchards that had been farmed for more than a century in ways that depleted the soil. Dedicated to the principles and practice of organic farming, we added organic material to the soil that it had lacked for so long and implemented other sustainable practices.
Over time, giving back to the land more than we took from it, we were able to transform the orchards. The fruit responded to our caretaking. Today, the trees in these USDA-certified organic orchards produce superior quality fruit. The apples, apricots, cherries, peaches, pears, plums, and strawberries in our jams have the intense flavor and incredible natural sugar content that can only be found in tree-ripened fruit.
The primary ingredient in all of our jams is the organic fruit itself. Harvesting takes place when the flavor and natural sweetness of the fruit have reached maximum intensity and are in the perfect balance needed to make exquisite handcrafted jams and jellies.
