Jay Hiebert - The Jelly Savant!

Ma Mere’s Maison

I create Jellies to taste deep in the Soul – to trigger sweet forgotten memories of how “grandmother’s” jelly tasted back in the day!  My friend Shawn, a fellow vendor, calls me the Jelly Savant!  I get tremendous satisfaction from creating quality products for my customers at farmers’ markets.  I love to watch the reactions of my customers when tasting my jellies – particularly the reaction to the Crème de Banana as the flavor activates the taste buds with the invariable lifting of the head and closing of the eyes as a spontaneous “yummm that’s good” escapes!  I laugh, as they are typically very suspicious as this in an unusual flavor to find at the Farmers’ Markets.
