Sandra and her husband Alan decided to quit the hectic city life and find a more peaceful existence in the countryside so they moved to her family’s land in Zadar’s hinterland. Being surrounded with loads of ripe figs, Sandra decided to try making a fresh fig jam following her grandma’s recipe. Turns out she’s a talent. A few years later, her fig jam Šinjorina smokva (Miss Figgy) is one of the most awarded and original natural jams on Croatian market. Nowadays she also makes blackberry and quince jams, and is experimenting with sour cherry (we were lucky to try some samples and it’s very promising). Energetic Sandra is a real moving force in Zadar region and has greats plans for future.

You can find her jams in DM drugstore chain, but we recommend visiting this lovely happy family at their farm and soaking up some of their positive energy.
