The Jam and Jelly Lady

Christmas Jam has been our best-selling jam month after month, for many years.  It's a combination of all the best Ohio berries:  blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries.  They're cooked together with only cane sugar and organic lemon juice added - no pectin, citric acid.  We cook the luscious berries until they gel on their own.  

The flavor of jam without pectin is much richer and fruitier than those made with pectin.  Why?  Pectin is a thickener.  It "freezes" a jam into a thick gel, long before all the excess water is cooked out of the berries.  In addition, pectin enables jam makers to add tons of sugar to the recipe.  I know of canneries whose ratio fruit to sugar is 1:3.  Our ratio of 2:1 is much tastier and healthier!  

Right now, we are running our annual holiday special: order a case of Christmas Jam and we will customize your label for FREE.  For example, you can put a family greeting (e.g., Merry Christmas from the Smith Family) or a company greeting (e.g., Season's Greetings from Ace Woodworks).  Just order online or call us and tell us what you want on the label.  If you order a few more jars than a case, that's OK, too.  We'll label 13, 15, as long as it's greater than 12 jars (a case).  

 We ship anywhere in the contiguous 48 states.  And with good help this year, we're ahead of our production schedule (sigh!  We'll enjoy the holidays!), so don't feel that you're late in ordering.  We start accepting orders as early as July, and will continue taking them until December 10.

Happy Holidays!
