A combination of homesickness and fond memories of growing up on a farm led German-born Ilka to start experimenting with jams. Inspired by traditional German recipes and her love for India, she started making her own flavour combinations.
Adventure {organic strawberry with ginger and cinnamon}, Paradise Lost {naturally grown alphonso mango with pineapple, coconut} and Forest Whisper {Indian raspberry with organic strawberry, natural vanilla bean} are among our favourites. Packed with 70% real {seasonal} fruit, organic khandsari sugar, with absolutely NO preservatives, artificial flavours or added colours, Ilka’s jams are absolutely delicious. Her ultimate goal is to go all-organic, keeping her jams as sustainable and locally sourced as possible.
The jams go great with anything edible – from yogurt and cheese, to biscuits and cake; and make great wedding/birthday favours, too. Ilka’s jams are available in 100ml and 250ml jars, priced between INR 180 and INR 300 respectively. You can find them at several popular Cafes and stores around Pune, from Koregaon Park to Aundh.
