We be jammin'

When you think of jam, perhaps you think of a traffic jam... Did you know that in 2010, China was crowned the unofficial "host" of the largest traffic jam ever recorded??  The cars stretched for more than 62 miles (100 km) and lasted for 12 days!  The traffic jam occurred on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway near Beijing and was caused by trucks carrying construction supplies to Beijing to ironically help ease traffic on the Expressway!

OR maybe when you think of jam you think of Pearl Jam...  the rock band that was formed in Seattle, Washington in 1990... they were one of the first alternative rock bands...

OR maybe you think of preserved fruit... the making of preserves, jellies and jams reportedly began centuries ago in the Middle East and according to the International Jelly and Preserve Association, "It is believed that returning Crusaders first introduced jam and jelly to Europe, in fact the use of cane sugar to make jam and jelly can be traced back to the 16th century when the Spanish came to the West Indies where they preserved fruit.."

So we here at in a pickle foods didn't invent the wheel BUT we are sure dressing it up!

Inspecting the bounty



Here's Mr. Richards performing a quality inspection of in a pickle's cinnamon peach jam.  He's got a tough job:  to perform a quality inspection when those peaches are singing "Taste me.. Taste me!"
