A true classic medley. Delicious Berry Medley Jam contains New England’s freshest berries; including wild blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. Other ingredients contained in the jam are pure cane sugar, lemon juice and all natural pectin. A burst of flavor and great all year long!

You may be wondering what the difference is between a jelly and a jam. Well a jelly, like the one pictured above is made from the fruit’s juices and thus has a smoother, less textured appearance. A jam on the other hand, is formed by using crushed fruit or fruit pulp, creating a less stiff substance but more texture from the fruit pieces. Both are held together with the ingredient pectin, which is a carbohydrate found in the cell walls of fruit; this is what holds the jam or jelly together.

 


 

 

Fig & Pear Jam

Our Fig & Pear Jam is a combination of fresh figs and juicy pears, with a hint of cinnamon, creating a true classic. Ingredients include figs, pears, pure cane sugar, lemon juice, all natural pectin and cinnamon. Perfect flavors for the harvest season, consider dunking fresh scones into this jam for a great party appetizer.
