MEET THE VENDORS: Desire to perfect a family jam recipe becomes a business empire About 18 months ago, Glen Carney had just retired from his job with the Department of Corrections and also just withstood his 100th brain surgery to treat hydrocephalus, a condition with which he was born.
Hydrocephalus is a rare disease where the cavities — or ventricles — within the brain fill up with excess cerebrospinal fluid, causing increased pressure within the head. While there is no cure, it is treatable with surgery and the insertion of shunts, which provide drainage to alleviate the pressure.
With the milestones of retirement and 100 surgeries behind him, Carney turned to making jam as a way to leave an important legacy “The inspiration for it came from a desire to leave something for my boys (now age 10 and 12),” Carney said. “I wanted to leave some recipes for them.”
Carney said he learned how to make jam watching his grandmother do it when he was a kid.
“I started with the red bell pepper jam,” Carney said. “It ended up taking off and I started another line of jams and some all-purpose seasonings.”
Carney’s business was born, but that was never the goal.
“I started it without wanting a business, and unfortunately, I didn’t realize you had to be licensed, inspected, and insured,” Carney said. “I was just making it out of my kitchen.”
Carney said he got himself compliant with all the legal requirements and the business just exploded.
He also named his company to pay tribute to his brief, renegade beginning. It’s called Uncle Carney’s Bootleg Habanero Jam and Seasoning.
The name also indicates the “renegade” nature of the jam since it isn’t the usual fruit-only concoction.
Carney makes his jam with fruit and peppers, usually habaneros, to create a “sweet-to-heat” effect.
“Sweet-to-heat … it’s a mild heat,” Carney says. “The goal is to delay the heat so you enjoy the fresh fruit flavor first.”
Carney says a lot of people ask him how he can make a habanero a mild heat.
“You have to taste it to see,” he says. “People like the balance (between the fruits and peppers).
The jam can be used on anything regular jam can be used on, including toast, muffins, crac
