Liking this




With Brooklyn's artisanal, back-to-basics food movement well underway, it seemed only a matter of time before jams and jellies joined the flurry of small-batch chocolates, beers, pickled goods, and popsicles. But that's as predictable as Anarchy in a Jar gets.

Founded by self-proclaimed "Jamarchist" Laena McCarthy, Anarchy turns out seasonal selections of flavorful and eclectic jams, jellies, preserves and chutneys that—despite only consisting of a handful of ingredients—couldn't be further from basic. Current options include Grapefruit Marmalade with Smoked Salt, Hot Fireman's Pear Jam that carries hint of cinnamon and subtle smokiness from chipotle peppers and the exceptional Strawberry Balsamic Jam.
