In late 2009, after years of creating homemade condiments for various wine clubs and classes, and fielding hundreds of requests, Tabitha Stroup, of Friend in Cheeses, started to produce small batches of her jams and jellies under the moniker, "Tabitha’s Appropriate Jams." Broadsided by the immediate popularity and demand, that early incarnation grew quickly into Friend in Cheeses Jam Company. Using the best Santa Cruz has to offer, she creates the perfect partner for cheese with these jams. These jams are perfect to serve alongside a cheese platter, to spread on bread with a grilled cheese or panini, or to make an exceptional bread-and-butter pudding. Available in the following flavors:Lavender Plum Jelly: French plums and lavender – every batch of this jelly has its own jewel tone from nature’s amazing prism. The season is short and this jelly won’t last long. Why not save a lil’ summer for stormy nights? Pair with French toast, yoghurt, aged gouda.Pinot Cherries: The medley of dried Montmorency cherries, black pepper, citrus and Pinot Noir makes for the quintessential pairing . There is not a meat, cheese or cocktail that this baby can't uplift. Je ne sais quoi quality to keep the culinary imagination on point. Strawberry Tarragon Conserve: Pure summer in a jar...Bright juicy fat ripe strawberries from the central coast of California, blended with a hint of vanilla, a dash of black pepper, and a good dose of organic tarragon...from morning toast to an afternoon ice cream, this combo is a sure fire smile generator.Rosie's Hip Jelly: She is one hip girl. All the Vit C one could want from mothers nature's ceptors that arrive after the rose has faded. Joining the party a blend of Roobios tea annis orange peel and cinnamon is a delicate nod to the past.Salted Watermelon Jelly: A true jar of summer. Sitting on the back porch as a child with a creek chilled slab ...

From wonderful cocktails to perfect additions to duck breast
The Pinot cherries have such a wide range of uses. From wonderful cocktails to perfect additions to duck breast.The onion jam is in a league by itself. On burgers, steaks, lamb it is a fantastic addition.
