HILLARY DANNER is an L.A.-based actress-turned-mom-turned-preserves entrepreneur, who needed a way to keep up with the constant bounty from her backyard fruit trees and peppers, both hot and cool. She teamed with longtime friend, MARIA NEWMAN (and Chef Jared Levy), to start Jenkins Jellies and promote their line of gourmet condiments. Hell Fire Pepper Jelly came out 2 years ago and is their best seller.
