Join us for a fun and friendly day of making jam and new pals!  Fallen Fruit’s Public Fruit Jam is a wonderful social and community-building event that’s perfect for kids, adults, families and even first dates.

Folks are invited to drop by the courtyard anytime between 11am – 2pm for the Fruit Jam.  Everyone is invited to contribute home-grown or picked public fruit to the cause.

Selecting fruit goodies from the communal fruit table, guests will join Jam Teams of 3 to 5 people.  (New friends!) Your team’s jam ingredients can be anything you bring along or score at the fruit table.  Fallen Fruit encourages experimental jams, such as basil guava or lemon pepper jelly.  You can even add a kick of jalapeno or bite with some fresh ginger. Almost all fruits can be jammed, even bananas – if you dare!

Each jam session runs approximately 45 minutes from cutting to preserving. Fallen Fruit staffers will be on hand to help out.  In the end, you will have jam to keep, swap and contribute to the tasting table where you can savor the fruits of your labors.  And who knows – you may also leave with a new BFF or adorable meet-cute story!

A portion of the jam produced at this event (+ bread and peanut butter) will be donated to the Union Station Homeless Services Family Center. 

We are grateful to Whole Foods Market and their locations in Pasadena on Arroyo Parkway and Foothill Boulevard for helping support this event.
