Product Description

TRAPPIST PRESERVES. . . WORLD-FAMOUS QUALITY. . .The monks at St. Josephs Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts craft each batch of Trappist Preserves in accord with the monastic tradition of excellence. The result is unsurpassed quality which has earned worldwide awards and praise. One factor which contributes to top quality is vacuum pan cooking. The fruit is cooked at temperatures of about 80 degrees cooler, resulting in better color and flavor. No artificial colorings, flavors, or preservatives are used! Another key factor to quality is the same cook who has been refining recipes and techniques for more than 30 years, bringing a wealth of experience to today's production. Careful selection and combination of fruit also contribute to making a superior product. In their Strawberry Preserves, for example, two kinds of strawberries are used: one for outstanding flavor and the other for texture which holds up throughout the cooking process. These and other factors make Trappist Preserves some of the best in the world. . . Now, by the convenience of mail order, the monks bring their hospitality to your doorstep!

5.0 out of 5 stars Trappist jellies & jams are great stuff!, January 1, 2007

They taste great.
They're pretty!
They're made in an intriguing and enviro-friendly way. (My first sight of the monastery where they're made - a replica of the mother-house in Europe, on a picturesque hilltop in Massachusetts - swept me into a historical reverie that was interrupted when I realized what the habited monk on the red tile roof was doing: fixing one of the solar panels powering the jelly factory. You can read more about some unique features of the process on the Amazon site.)
And the money you spend actually goes to support the life and work of the monks.

DELICIOUS!!! A wonderful set of flavors and a nice way to support the church. Just wish this product was a little cheaper because it comes from workers in a religious organization that is not payrolled. The only things that would make me choose different Cmas gifts this year would be the shipping fees. If Trappist issues gift cards, that might be the way to shop until our economy stabilizes.

2.0 out of 5 stars too bad it has corn syrup, June 24, 2011

I was getting ready to purchase this product but the fact that contains corn syrup make me change my mind. Many of us are having issues with corn syrup. I appreciate the fact that they disclosed all ingredients before I placed the order. Hope this could change in the future.
