Our Story

A Jar Full of
Sunshine

My mother didn't have a timer in her kitchen. She had a feeling. I remember watching her stand in the courtyard, looking at the sky, deciding if the sun was “just right” for the mangoes.

When I started The Sun Dried Jar, I promised to keep that same rhythm. We wait days for the salt to pull the moisture out. We insist on grinding our own masalas at home. We use only cold-pressed oils and pink rock salt — because that's how it was always done.

“That wait is where the love settles in.”

What people say

Pickle lovers, delighted

“The Classic Dill Spears are the best pickles I have ever tasted. The brine is perfectly balanced — garlicky, herbaceous, and not too acidic. I order a case every month.”

“Honey Butter Stackers changed my charcuterie game forever. The floral sweetness paired with tangy brine is unlike anything at the supermarket. Absolutely addictive.”

“I serve the Sriracha Honey Spears as a bar snack and my guests always ask where they came from. The heat and sweetness are perfectly calibrated. Brilliant product.”
