Jams & Jellies
We use all natural ingredients: never any added flavorings or coloring and pure cane sugar is the only sugar that goes into our products (never any GMO beat sugar). We choose fruit at its peak ripeness to insure the fullest flavor possible. It's a difference you will taste with each bite.
All of our jams and jellies are good for one year from the date on the label (though you probably won't be able to resist them that long). Once you have opened the jar, just pop it in the refrigerator and eat at your leisure. The eight ounce Kerr jar all the jams and jellies are packaged in is reusable for a myriad of uses. Freshness, functionality, and deliciousness all in the same package (it's the kinda thing we momma's care about!)

Monkey Butter
Bananas, Bananas, Bananas! You will go ape for this spread (yes, I went there). But, seriously, if you don't like bananas you won't like this jam. It is great on toast, biscuits, pancakes or a PBJ (try with nutella for an extra indulgence). A must for the banana lover in your home. Available all year |

Dandelion Jelly
This jelly is so good I have an entire page dedicated to it! How to describe this jelly? The essence of Spring? Sunshine in a jar? Reminiscent of honey and very very special? All these description fit but are still not enough. You simply have to try it for yourself. Seasonal availability |

Sun Berry Jam
Strawberries, Blueberries and the surprise of Mango! This jam has less sugar than a jelly to make room for more yummy fruit. It is a beautiful deep purple and is FANTASTIC on an English muffin. Stop by our markets for a sample and I bet you will take home at least one jar! Available all year |

Partridge Jam
Also known as Christmas jam, this jam is inspired by a traditional Northern European recipe using a berry that is a very close cousin to our cranberry: a partridge berry. Since fresh partridge berries are next to impossible to acquire in the U.S., and this jam is so wonderful, I played around till this recipe came about. It is a combination of strawberries and cranberries and is scrumptious. With a little less sugar than our jellies, it is an absolutely delightful jelly for your morning toast or afternoon scone.

Violet Jelly
Both delicate in flavor, and beautiful in color, this jelly is truly a culinary delight. It, literally, takes baskets and baskets of these tiny Spring flowers to make this naturally purple jelly. I find it tastes best on something light: an English muffin or flaky biscuit. But, no matter what you spread it on, it will be sure to please. Seasonal availability |

Pineapple Habanero Jelly
Sweet & Hot = yum yum! This jelly is full of pepper heat but it is also loaded with pineapple sweetness. Because of the combination, you will get the full flavor of the habaneros but still get to keep your taste buds intact. Try it over some cream cheese on crackers, slathered on a pork roast for a glaze, on toast with avocado and feta, or my personal favorite, smeared atop a grilled cheeseburger! Any which way, you will love it! Available all year |

Apple Mint Jelly
Most mint jellies are green because of the addition of green food coloring. Our jelly is a beautiful pale gold; exactly as a mint jelly should be. Not only is there no artificial color, it is made with a member of the mint family, that we grow ourselves, called "Apple Mint". When added to organic apple juice and made into a jelly, it becomes a beautiful thing. *As a bonus, it has been known to help with morning nausea: A.K.A. morning sickness. Seasonal availability |

Apple Butter
Our Apple Butter is unique, golden, smooth and absolutely delicious! We start with local apples that we pick ourselves (a combination of gala, Jonathan, and golden delicious), add just a bit of pure cane sugar (about 1.5 tablespoons per 8 ounce jar), a touch of our house made apple spice mix, and blend it extra smooth. It is great on bread, fried biscuits, waffles, oatmeal, and even ice cream. You really need to try this to see the amazing difference between ours and commercial apple butter. Come by a market and ask for sample! Seasonal availability |
Concord Spread
Don't think for a minute that this tastes ANYTHING like the grape jelly you grew up with on your peanut nut butter and jelly sandwiches. This is more grapey than a grape juice!
We pick the concord grapes we use for this ultra low sugar spread at a small family owned farm in South Western Michigan when they are bursting with natural sweetness (our fingers are blue for days). We then rush to get them squeezed and jarred up to insure utmost freshness. They are vine to jar in less than 24 hours! And that's not the best part; because of them being so perfectly ripe and deliciously sweet, we only add the tiniest bit of cane sugar. A typical store bought grape jelly/jam has 15 grams of sugar per serving. Not ours! It has less than 6 grams! And I promise you will never miss the sugar.
