SuperJam Documentary on BBC Alba.

If you happen to follow my Twitter, you'll know that a couple of weeks ago I was followed around for a whole day by a film crew from BBC Alba, the Gaelic channel.

We had a lovely day filming for 'Cuide Ri Cathy', with Cathy McDonald. We tried out a new jam recipe in the morning, visited the local Waitrose supermarket to see the products on the shelves and then had a massive tea party in the afternoon.

Don't worry; it is mostly in English and the Gaelic parts have subtitles.

You can watch the program on BBC iPlayer here, for the next week.

SuperJam's 2nd Birthday!

Two years ago this month;

Switzerland Accidentally Invaded Lichtenstein.
A handful of Danes were arrested when police raided The Youth Group in Copenhagen.
A statue of the Greek goddess Hera was dug up.

Clearly, the only thing of note that happened was that SuperJam launched in Waitrose on the 19th March, 2007.

It has been an amazing couple of years and SuperJam has;

Launched in over 1,000 supermarkets

Been entered into the National Museum of Scotland as an example of an 'Iconic Scottish Food Brand'.

Been named one of Scotland's top innovations of recent times

Has been the feature of an Orange 'I am' advertising campaign

Set up a project running hundreds of tea parties for thousands of lonely elderly people all over the UK

What's more, our FaceBook fan page crossed the 200 fans mark today. To celebrate, we're having a some scones and tea this evening and probably some bubbly.

The Highland Show

- James, Dad and myself manning the stand.

Sorry for a couple of weeks of not posting.

Everything has been dead busy. I spent a couple of weeks travelling around the West Midlands - visiting Waitrose stores. This was pretty hard work. I got up at 6:30am every day, travelled for a couple of hours to get to the stores, worked until 7pm and then travelled back to go to bed. I got to see Brum and bring SuperJam to a few thousand more families, which makes it all worthwhile.

Batman and Robin in Stourbridge.

I also went on a cookery programme with Levi Roots, the Reggae Reggae sauce guy, which was cool. Will be shown on the telly in a few weeks, might be able to stick a clip on the blog.

As soon as I got back to Scotland, I had to spend four days at the Highland Show. Apparently, it's the biggest public event in Scotland with a few hundred thousand visitors over the four days. Certainly felt pretty big. We sold thousands of pots of jam and everyone was really interested in the products. Met a lot of other small food producers and had fun sharing stories and experiences.

I'm totally shattered now (Sunday evening) and looking forward to a few exciting things next week.

By the way, if you are a Facebook user, then make sure you get yourself down to the SuperJam Fan Group created by jam fanatic Yvie and sign up!

Over and out,

Jam boy.
