*growing organic fruit in the NE is very hard, and therefore there are very few farms that do it, hence the inclusion of low-spray. We feel that local trumps organic: support your local farms!

Ingredients and Description of Jams:

Strawberry Balsamic Jam
strawberries, balsamic vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, all natural pectin
Long maceration process finished with a balsamic bite that brings out the sweetness in the fruit–-great with goat cheese!

3′s Company Triple Berry Jam
raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, lemon juice, sugar, all natural pectin

Easy, toast-perfect, with a great mix of sweet and tart. Perfect for those who love pure fruit flavor and an easy eating jam.

Easy Like Sunday Morning Blueberry Preserves
wild blueberries, maple syrup, sugar, lemon juice, all natural pectin
Wild Maine blueberries meld with a rich B grade maple syrup from Lyonsville Sugarhouse in Accord, New York. Add this to your pancakes and swoon.

Hot Fireman’s Pear Jam with chipotle and cinnamon
Bartlett pears, cinnamon, chipotle, lemon juice, sugar, all natural pectin
Pears are given a smoky, spicy buzz with the addition of chipotle and cinnamon. This jam smells and looks like late autumn, when the golden earth-toned air is tinged with woodsmoke. Not too spicy, but with a little smoky kick at the end. We donate a portion of the proceeds to our local NYC Fire Department.

Grapefruit & Smoked Salt Marmalade
Grapefruit, smoked salt, sugar,
all natural pectin
Sweet, slightly bitter with a hit of smoky salt. Ruby red grapefruit juice and slivers of zest float in translucent golden jelly.

Spiced Beer Jelly
Local dark ale, apples, grains of paradise, coriander, cloves, lemon juice, sugar,
all natural pectin
Spices and ale make this a unique and amazing jelly, perfect with cheese or meat.

Lime & Pandan Marmalade
Lime juice and zest, pandan leaf, sugar,
all natural pectin
Just a little bitter and sour, with awesome refreshing lime flavor and nutty, musky notes of pandan leaf. This is the best summer jam for hot days! Zest floats in beautiful herbaceously green jelly.
