Jam-maker Miranda Rake made her first batch of jam to solve an age-old problem: too much ripe fruit! The plum tree in her mother's backyard produced a bumper crop (hence \"Plum Tree Jam\"), but as much fun as it was, Miranda had a long way to go before she'd realize her destiny as a professional preserver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2009 she moved to NYC to start NYU's Masters in Food Studies program, and in 2012, she was the second hire at a very small start-up, now known as Mouth.com. We like to think that Miranda's days writing about small batch makers like Laena McCarthy of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth.com\/collections\/vendors?q=anarchy+in+a+jar\" title=\"Anarchy in a Jar\"\u003eAnarchy in a Jar\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eand Sabrina Valle and Jessica Quon of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth.com\/collections\/vendors?q=The+Jam+Stand\" title=\"The Jam Stand\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Jam Stand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e played a small role in germinating that jam seed within. She and her now husband moved back to Portland (closer to mom), and the rest is history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's hard to pick favorites, but we find ourselves all but licking the jar of Miranda's Marionberry Jam clean. Marionberries are native to Oregon, where they were born of a lucky cross between Olallieberry and Chehalem blackberries. Miranda keeps sugar to a minimum, letting the natural sweetness of the berries shine, so her jam has a loose texture studded with pieces of whole berry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent for topping toast, oatmeal, yogurt or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth.com\/products\/pancake-mix#variant=17815122757\" title=\"waffles\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewaffles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, Miranda’s jam is also our sidekick in some savory applications. Try a spoonful or two into a pan sauce to drizzle over seared duck breast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere’s a party trick: Spread the top of a wheel of brie with Marionberry Jam, wrap in pastry dough and bake for 30 minutes in a 350° oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJam on, Miranda.
