Inspired by a California Rancho Recipe
Earl’s Gone Wild pepper jams are inspired by an old California rancho recipe dating back to the early 1700s. During the fall harvest, ranch kitchens often had an abundance of fresh chile peppers. Some were used fresh, others dried or smoked—but on special occasions the chiles were transformed into sweet and tangy jams.
The result was a unique condiment that balanced heat, sweetness, and bright chile flavor.
Today we continue that tradition with our line of pepper jams featuring fresh jalapeño, serrano, and habanero peppers.
How It All Started
The jam began when Earl needed gifts for the holidays and made a few batches for friends and family. Word spread quickly, and soon people were asking for more jars.
Before long, Earl’s pepper jams had become a customer favorite—and the Habanero Jam became the go-to choice for serious chile lovers.
We bring the heat. Now you can eat.
