OUR PROCESS
Handcrafted. Small Batch. Always Delicious.
We believe that truly unforgettable flavor comes from care, patience, and craft.
Every jar of Yummy Lotus jam is made in small batches, tasted throughout the process, and handled by real people who love what they do.
Our process is simple — on purpose.
No shortcuts.
Just thoughtful cooking, clean ingredients, and a whole lot of heart.
STEP 1: CREATE— Chef-Inspired, Flavor-Driven
Every Yummy Lotus flavor begins with creativity in the kitchen.
Our founder and flavor creator, Alexa, develops every recipe by pairing culinary experience with an instinct for bold, playful flavor combinations.
She starts with the freshest fruit, adds the right heat from peppers, and tests each recipe until the balance is perfect.
Each flavor must pass three rules:
1. It must taste just as bright as the fruit it came from.
2. It must have a heat profile that doesn’t overpower the sweetness.
3. It must be something you’ll want to put on EVERYTHING.
This is where the magic begins.
STEP 2: COOK — Small Batch, Quick-Cooked, Flavor Protected
Our jams are cooked in small 80-gallon batches using a quick-cook method that locks in:
color, brightness, freshness, fruit-forward flavor & natural pepper aromatics
We never overcook, and we never mask the natural flavor with fillers, starches, or artificial ingredients.
You taste real fruit.
You taste real peppers.
You taste the intention behind every single batch.
STEP 3: CAN — Hot-Filled, Safe, Shelf-Stable
Once the jam reaches its perfect flavor and texture, we move to the canning stage.
Every jar is:
cleaned and sanitized
hot-filled at the precise temperature
sealed using the Hot Fill & Hold method
air-tight and shelf-stable
always pH tested
This old-school technique preserves each jar naturally — without preservatives — so you get long-lasting freshness straight from our kitchen to yours.
STEP 4: HANDMADE — Finished With Human Care
Every Yummy Lotus jar passes through real hands — not assembly lines.
Each one is:​
hand-sealed
hand-inspected
held to our highest standard of quality
We check for consistency, a flavor test, color, fill level, and seal integrity.
Nothing ships unless we love it.
This step takes the longest.
But it’s also the step that matters the most to us.
Because the details ARE the flavor.
Why We Choose this Way
In a world where everything is mass-produced, we stay small-batch on purpose.
Because you deserve jam that tastes:
handmade
pure
personal
full of love
and absolutely unforgettable
Every jar carries our heart, our craft, and our promise:
If it’s not good enough for our family, it’s not going to yours.
From Our Kitchen to Your Table
We’re proud to share our small-batch process with you — not just because it’s delicious, but because it’s meaningful.
This is jam made with intention.
Jam that brings people together.
Jam that elevates every meal.
Thank you for letting Yummy Lotus be part of your story.
