The story behind
that dam jam!
"Reheated biscuits are better than reheated conversation!"
​
On the left is Grandma Ruth, in the middle is my Mother Sue, and on the right is my Grandfather Thad. Ruth is a cooking legend in our family. She imparted great advice about sharing love through her cooking. She shared these thoughts with my Mother, on her wedding day in the form of a recipe box with this note appearing first.
​
"Cooking is in your blood. The women on your maternal side prided themselves on their good, plain cooking. To assemble an outstanding meal takes just as much artistry as painting a picture and much more menial labor. By the same token, a beautiful painting doesn't come from a freezer or a can. These are your tools, you must be the creator. Learn to cook meals that will leave you free to enjoy your guests- reheated biscuits are better than reheated conversation."​
A Silver Lining to the Pandemic!
Barbie Hahn, Chief Sunshine Officer & Founder of That Dam Jam has been making pepper jam in her home kitchen for over a decade!
After creating what would become our best-selling "Pineapple Habanero Jam" and sending it out to friends and family during the pandemic as a gift, many began asking for "more of that dam jam" and a small business was born! Based in Milford, OH - That Dam Jam Co. specializes in unique, versatile pineapple pepper jams!
