LOCALLY MADE, SEASONALLY SOURCED

Small Batch: a type of small-scale production in which goods are made in limited quantities, often by means of traditional or artisanal methods.

Artisan: A worker in a skilled trade, especially one that involves making things by hand. A food or drink made in a traditional or non-mechanized way using high-quality ingredients.

Preserves: A thick fruit spread made from fruit cooked with sugar. Unlike jams and jellies, preserves are chunky in texture.

Jam: A thick spread made from fruit juice, chopped, crushed, or puréed fruit, and sugar. Jams are usually looser than jellies and typically contains a bit of fruit pulp, so it’s not entirely transparent.

Mauka Girl Creations is based on a love of, and fascination with, food preservation. I use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible to make delectable jams and preserves. When I cannot source a main ingredient locally, I insure it is organic. Organic cane sugar is the only sweetener I use. My goal is to evoke a simpler time when food was straightforward and you knew where it came from. My products always have fruit as their first ingredient.

I am often asked where my business name came from. Mauka is the Hawaiian word for inland or towards the mountain. I grew up in Montana, the Spanish word for mountain. So Mauka Girl Creations just made sense to perfectly embody where i am from and what I do.

Mauka Girl Creations got its start in November 2014 on the beautiful island of Kauai, Hawaii with a big canning pot, boxes of Ball jars from the local hardware store, and a few gallons of lilikoi juice. Initially I was making tropical goodies to share with friends and family on the mainland. My pantry soon filled up and I decided to make this a business! After a successful run on Kauai at local markets, we relocated to Oregon where I am now fully licensed and having a wonderful time diving into the amazing produce this part of the country provides. Please like and follow where you can. I love what I do and I look forward to sharing my creations with you!

APRICOT ROSEMARY JAM

This sweet, tangy and herbaceous jam should be used in a Baked Brie, served with a cheese platter, spooned into thumbprint cookies, or spread onto an English muffin with butter. For Salmon filets: mix ¼ C. jam with 2 t. balsamic vinegar, ½ t. kosher salt and ¼ t. garlic powder. Spread onto filets, then broil until cooked. Place a spoonful of jam and a pat of butter into the cavity of a raw acorn squash, roast until tender. Also surprisingly delicious on a peanut butter sandwich!

BALSAMIC FIG PRESERVES

My favorite way to enjoy this preserve is with goat cheese, a baguette, and a glass of wine! Mix into sautéed onions and mushrooms to top grilled veggies, steaks or pork loin. Can also be used as the base of a vinaigrette for hearty grain and veggie salads. And, of course, it’s the perfect companion to a cheese and charcuterie plate.

BLACKBERRY ORANGE JAM

Sweet blackberries are combined with fresh orange zest for a delectable combination which is excellent on a buttery English muffin, used in baked goods, or stirred into Greek yogurt.

BLACK CURRANT PRESERVES

Fresh, local black currants are combined with black currant liqueur to make a slightly tart, earthy, sweet and delectable jam that is unlike any other berry flavor.

BLUEBERRY MEYER LEMON PRESERVES

Fresh, local, sweet blueberries and organic Meyer lemons make a syrupy, fruit filled preserve that is excellent spooned over pancakes or cheesecake.

GOOSEBERRY ELDERFLOWER JAM

Local gooseberries combined with organic cane sugar, a touch of lemon and a delicious elderflower concentrate produces a jam that is slightly tart with hints of green grape and apple.

HASKAP JAM

The haskap mingles tart with sweet; it combines the essence of raspberries and blueberries with honey and strawberries and a delightful tartness.Also called the honeyberry or blue-berried honeysuckle, this jam lends itself well to toast, yogurt, baking - try it on a cheesecake!

MARIONBERRY CINNAMON JAM

Oregon’s favorite berry made into a jam that tastes like a pie filling! Excellent stirred into Greek yogurt.

MARIONBERRY COCONUT JAM

Hawaii meets the Pacific Northwest! Locally harvested Marionberries are combined with organic cane sugar and a touch of natural coconut flavoring for a superb flavor combination. Spoon some onto a lemon pound cake or a cheesecake for a scrumptious treat that will transport you to a tropical locale.

RASPBERRY RHUBARB JAM

Sweet raspberries and tart rhubarb make a delicious jam that is wonderful with nut butters or use to fill a pastry.

RASPBERRY ROSE JAM

By adding a touch of Rose Water to my Raspberry Jam, you get a preserve that is absolutely perfect served with a buttery croissant or scone. It is sweet, tart, and has a perfect floral balance.

SPICED STRAWBERRY RHUBARB JAM

Sweet Oregon strawberries and tart rhubarb are combined with cardamom and a touch of cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor that makes this jam go above and beyond your regular strawberry rhubarb.

STRAWBERRY JALAPEÑO JAM

Dollop onto a baguette slice with a soft cheese like brie, cream cheese, or goat cheese
Use on a grilled cheese sandwich
Use as a dipping sauce for jalapeño poppers or cheese taquitos
