It's one of those stories you hear about but aren't really sure if anyone actually does it; quit your job and turn your hobby into a business. That is the background of Freakin' Flamingo Jams & Jellies. Everything the Freakin’ Flamingo makes is prepared and canned with whatever’s in season – mostly in Florida; the selection changes all the time. Freakin’ Flamingo doesn’t use giant vats but rather regular cooking pots like the ones you have in your home; Freakin' Flamingo likes to call it‚ micro-batch rather than small-batch this way she has tight quality control over her product. There's no grape jelly going on here, but more like the exciting flavors and combinations of Spicy Tomato Jam, and Lemongrass Pepper Jelly. Freakin' Flamingo sells her product at local Miami Farmers Markets. Visit freakinflamingo.com
