This carefully crafted gourmet boysenberry jam is made to a precisely spreadable consistency. It's made in small batches with sweetened, fresh fruit with no fillers, corn syrup, or preservatives for an intense fruit flavor. As with many foods, the ingredients make all the difference. What makes Pioneer Valley jam so good? First, its the fruit first quality fruit picked and quickly frozen until its ready to go into your jam. Much of the fruit comes from Pioneer Valleys own orchards so you know that the fruit is picked at perfect ripeness and processed without shipping it half way across the country. You cant have great jam without great fruit. Plus, this jam isn't diluted with a bunch of water. Some grocery store jams and jellies may be made of as much as 40% water and they're not even required to put that on the label! It's also the careful, handcrafted care that a small, family-owned company puts into its jam. They know how to make great jam and they don't cut any corners. How can you tell if you're getting a good jam? Look at the label. Is it made with cane sugar or corn syrup? Corn syrup is cheaper and easier to work with but it masks the flavors of the fruit. If its made with corn syrup, what other corners are they cutting? All Pioneer Valley jams are made with authentic, pure cane sugar. You'll find Pioneer Valley jam thick, rich, and flavorful and the perfect addition to your breads and muffins. Each attractive hex glass jar contains eight ounces of premium jam. Boysenberry jam's distinctive flavor is slightly stronger than red raspberry.
