Apricot Jam

ORIGIN: Nainital, Uttarakhand

Sweet with a mild tartness, this jam is made from a local variety of apricots called gola.

You’ll be buying directly from the producer. The Locavore does not handle orders, payments, delivery, or customer support.

The cutting and chopping of the fruit is done by hand, ensuring that its inherent sweetness is intact even at the cooking stage. This minimises the use of sugar, resulting in a flavour-packed jam.

Have it on warm toast or with buttered bread, or add it to yoghurt, smoothies, or simple desserts when you want a balance of sweetness and mild tartness. It also works well as a light filling for cakes or between layers, or served alongside cheese when you want something simple but slightly more rounded. 

Kilmora works with over 300 farmers in the Nainital district, and uses the profits earned to give a fair price to these farmers. They are vigilant about buying produce that is grown sustainably and using indigenous knowledge, which, in turn, incentivises the farmers to sow season-specific crops that do not require any chemical inputs.
