An ombré, two tone expression of these two fruits, raspberry jam sits over top peach jam.

Organic raspberries and peaches from New York’s Hudson Valley with honey and a little lemon juice.

Offered in both sizes plus a host pack of 3 x 2oz jars for gift giving.

Tangy and sweet with Munstead, Phenemonal, and Elegance lavender blossoms folded into the jam.

This flavors lives fully in the traditional jam flavor category (brambly, tart, sweet, homey) so it makes a great gift and it’s going to be very at home on your toast with ricotta or just some salty cultured butter. For cheese pairing, try it with an ash-veined goat milk cheese.

This honey sweetened jam contains: honey, blackberry, rhubarb, lemon juice, lavender.

A lot of fruit combinations are lovely, but raspberries and currants together are exceptional. I collect raspberries and Redcurrants all summer from places like The Farm Between, our farm and loads of berries from Omar Fugaro's farm on E. Munger St. in Middlebury (the next town over from here). A light infusion of scented rose geranium (grown in our gardens) at the end ignites this flavor into something heady, something special. 

This jam is especially good with fresh goat cheese and in baking projects.

A Good Food Award Winner.

This honey sweetened jam contains: redcurrants, honey, raspberry, lemon juice, rose geranium.

A truly balanced, fruity cherry jam. This jam lives on the sweeter end of the V Smiley Preserves flavor spectrum, which is to say, far less sweet than commercial jam, but sweet enough to always be a best-seller. It's a crowd pleaser and the hibiscus and rosehips keep it real, spotlighting the tart & juicy side of the cherry character.

An all-rounder for eating with cheese, this jam pairs with bloomy rinds (Brie) to alpine styles and washed rinds.

This honey sweetened jam contains: cherries, honey, lemon juice, almond extract, dried organic rosehips, dried organic hibiscus (the existing label says this jam contains apple, but we stopped using apple in the recipe).

Ever-bearing strawberries with blackcurrants and our rosemary. This flavor reminds me of early August evenings, eating al fresco, a pile of biscuits, a puff of whipped cream, a dollop of this jam and a few fresh berries from the farmers market.

This is a great flavor for nutty, hard cheeses like aged sheep milk and cheddars.

This honey sweetened jam contains: organic/no spray strawberry, blackcurrant, honey, lemon juice, rosemary.

Always count on luscious texture from preserves filled with stone fruit. This jam relies on the later season of plums, often a plethora of Italian Prune Plums with a round-out of other European (late season) plums from Vermont and New York.

A little more tart (as Strawberry Jams go), this one's great for someone who wants a strawberry preserve that's less sweet. A light rose flavor lingers from the spritz of rosewater added to the pots at the end of the cooking process.

This is a versatile flavor; toast, yogurt, soft cheeses, desserts.

Ingredients: late season plums, organic strawberries, honey, lemon juice, rose water.

A popular marmalade among the citrus marmalade collection. It's full of lemon juice plumped organic mission fig pieces and the navel orange peel is unblanched so the flavor has enough heartiness to make orange marmalade fans happy.

This marmalade is rich and sweet from the figs and warm from the cracked green cardamom pods steeped into the marmalade throughout the cooking process.

Eat this with aged cheddars!

This honey sweetened marmalade contains: honey, organic lemons, organic navel orange, organic mission & turkish figs, lemon juice, cardamom, (the existing label says this marmalade contains rum, but we stopped using rum in the recipe in 2016) . 

A childhood favorite, I love raspberry jam. I demand that it’s tangy, sweet, luscious (slightly soft set) and always made with either unsprayed local raspberries or certified organic berries.

I do three things with raspberry jam; eat it straight from the jar, swirl it into yogurt or get out the peanut butter jar. Occasionally when I’m craving sweets in the morning, I’ll bake some almond flour muffins filled with jam.

This honey sweetened jam contains: raspberries, honey, lemon juice.

Blackcurrants are magic; that tartness and cassis musk. The New York Shiro Plums let the blackcurrants be the star of this flavor, but the plums contribute enormously to the texture, making sure the jam is not overwhelmed by the seed and skin of the blackcurrant.

Eat this with rich fish like roasted tinned sardines or fresh black cod. Baste roast chicken with pan juices and jam. Assemble a salad of roasted and fresh veggies atop a shmear of Blackcurrant Plum Jam. Spoon this tart, purple preserve into banana smoothies. This flavor belongs everywhere, from morning oatmeal and yogurt bowls to gin cocktails. For cheese pairing, try a blue!

This honey sweetened jam contains: shiro plum, honey, blackcurrant, lemon juice.

A savory marmalade of pears and lemon that plays with the traditional flavor pairing of pears and sage. The marmalade is cooked with a sachet of lavender flowers, crushed peppercorns and finished by steeping fresh sage leaves. 

This marmalade is fantastic with aged goat cheeses, Tomme, Parmesan, Pecorino.

This honey sweetened marmalade contains: honey, organic/VT IPM pears, organic lemons, organic sage, organic lavender, organic white peppercorn.

I use this jam in my home kitchen more than any other flavor. I use it every and anywhere I'd use ketchup. Organic heirloom tomatoes (from our home farm Lil To Do at 3343 River Rd New Haven) and Singing Cedars Farm, cooked with honey, lemon juice, urfa biber and silk chili peppers and sea salt. This jam celebrates all that is fruity in the tomato. Heat level on this is medium-hot

An exceedingly versatile preserve, Tomato Jam is salty, sweet, spicy and wants to join almost any toast, egg, beans or combine with tart fresh cheeses and create a base layer for flatbreads. This plays beautifully alongside many cheeses. Then Tomato Jam steps easily into pastry fillings. If you're still confused by Tomato Jam, just fry up some bacon and start dipping.

This honey sweetened jam contains: tomatoes, honey, lemon juice, urfa biber pepper, silk chili pepper, habanero and bulgarian pepper, sea salt.
