Jammin IN the CIty
PBS LA
For Laura Ann Masura, jam-making came after her climb to stardom. This indie-rock drummer turned jammer (get it?) makes products that aren't quite your garden variety preserved fruits. Laura Ann's Jams varieties include "the Manhattan project," essentially a jarred cocktail (cherries infused with Bulleit rye, sweet vermouth and a dash of bitters), and a fiery Raspberry Habanero.
Many of these jams aren't for the faint-hearted -- not that we're complaining. Thanks to the rising farm to jam movement our future looks sweeter than ever.

Best Locally Made Jams: Echo Park
Laura Ann Masura is a self-described "retired independent rock star," but the former drummer is still (ahem) jamming. For what goes into her Laura Ann's Jams, she shops at the Hollywood, Atwater Village, Santa Monica, and Silver Lake farmers' markets. Her blueberry-Meyer lemon variety is made with Pudwill Farm berries and lemons from a friend's tree in Hollywood. A fearless experimenter, Masura also offers raspberry-habanero, green plum-cardamom, and Asian pear-champagne blends.
