ALL Jams and Jellies ARE:

Made with in-season fruit

Tree, bush and vine-ripened fruits picked fully ripe (for greatest flavor and highest sugar content)

Contain more fruit than sugar (excluding jellies)

Made without commercial pectin whenever possible (uses apples for natural pectin and as natural sweeteners)

Use local honey in No Sugar jams [Buzzing Bee (wildflower) honey]

Apple-fruit combinations contain more fruit than apples; typically, one green and one sweet apple per batch

Sold-out jams aren’t remade until next fruit harvest

Some jams contain a very small amount of butter, added to reduce foaming, so if you’re allergic to dairy/milk, please check the labels for those jams and jellies that are safe for you to eat.
