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 A Holiday Tradition, December 7, 2011

Every November I stock up on Trappist preserves and jellies for my holiday baking. Why use fresh butter, eggs, and real sugar if you fill your thumbprint cookies with inferior jelly from the grocery store? Whatever you spread with Trappist jam, jelly or preserves is elevated beyond mere food. When nobody's looking, I've been known to spoon it out of the jar and eat it -- it's that good. My favorite is the Ginger although it goes very quickly when it's available. The conserves with the walnuts are also excellent. Giving jam or jelly as a gift may seem silly, but once you and your gift recipient open up a jar, you'll be convinced.

We ordered this jam to give our neighbors and other friends for Christmas. The jam is delicious, and they seemed to enjoy receiving it.

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.
