THE JACKICAN STORY
Hi. I'm Jacki, founder and CEO of JackiCan. I create fresh fruit jams using the old-time water bath canning process. Canning came out of a desire to pay homage to my mother who was born in a small town in Georgia. She loved a sweet peach. So, my first creation was peach jam. I gave away jars for Thanksgiving and Christmas and received many kudos from family, friends and church members-- especially those who grew up in the South-- who remember watching their parents or grandparents 'can' their garden fruits and vegetables; and the staff at my dentist's office who continue to encourage me. Hence, the beginning of JackiCan. Yes I Can.
JackiCan News
Much has happened to JackiCan. First, my Peach Jam placed Number #1 at the 2019 DC State Fair, my Strawberry Jam placed Number #3. Second, I was selected to sell my jams at the historical DC Eastern Market on Capitol Hill. Third, JackiCan became the first Cottage Food business to operate East of the River, SE, DC! I can sell JackiCan Jams directly to DC residents only. My aim is to have a jar of JackiCan's jam at every DC breakfast table! And, JackiCan is registered with the DC Department of Small and Local Business (DSLBD) Made in DC registry.

JackiCan creates small batches of fresh fruit jams using the old-time water bath canning process. (Scroll down to see how it's done.) Fruits are hand-picked or purchased from local farms by me (as available), or purchased from farmers markets.
