One of the “hottest” gifts in this year’s SMCLA swag bag from Meet the Bloggers was Jenkins Jellies!  Homegrown right here in Los Angeles, this spicy jam is a must on your holiday menu!

Encouraged by family and friends, Hillary Danner teamed up with longtime friend Maria Newman and Chef Jared Levy to launch their artisanal line of gourmet goodies.  What started as a hobby in Hillary’s secret urban garden is now spreading like hell fire!

Hillary is very involved in her community dedicating her energy towards green initiatives, and donates a percentage of her profits to her beloved Uncle’s foundation – The Bruce Paltrow Oral Cancer Fund. SMCLA would like to thank the Jenkins Jellies team for getting us all fired up at Meet the Bloggers!
