We want to take you back in time with our all natural, hand-crafted, unique jams, butters and chutneys. At Sunchowder's Emporia , we hand cook our ingredients in old-fashioned copper kettles and jar in small batches using only the freshest seasonal fruits and the finest ingredients.

Our mission is to delight your taste buds!
Sunchowder's Emporia was founded by Wendy Read. She was born and grew up in New Jersey and her corporate IT job brought her to Longwood Florida in 1991. She always yearned to do something a bit more creative than engineering voice network capacity for a major telecom corporation, and thankfully she was freed from the bounds of corporate America in April of 2008! She re-invented herself and pursued her passion. She had always been drawn to cooking and baking, she collected hundreds of cookbooks over the years, and she had dabbled a bit in jam making for a fundraiser she had done for her daughter Rachel a few years prior. With Ball Canning Guide in hand and several YouTube videos later, she bought her first gorgeous copper jam pot in December of 2008 and the rest we shall say, is now history! Bubbling and brewing and developing new flavors became her passion.
The jams are processed in small batches, never using corn syrup, pectin, preservatives or colors. These jams take much longer to process than many store-bought jams as commercial pectin is not added to form the gel. All the fruits are cut and processed by hand using only fresh, quality ingredients. Her hope is that Sunchowder's Emporia jams and chutneys will become pantry staples and wonderful time savers in your kitchen as they make fabulous glazes, dips and appetizers for mealtimes. They can be added to quick breads and cookies for unique baked goods.
We truly want you to "Spread the Luv!" |
