Pairing Guide
Unique Pairings for Small-batch Jams, Jellies, Syrups & More
Jam on toast. Salsa with chips. Every jar in the house already earns its keep the easy way. But open enough of them at once, and you start noticing the other things they're good for-a glaze here, a wake-up call there, a cheese board that seemed fine on its own until you popped that jar of Blueberry Jalapeno Jam. Here's where all that ends up.
Jam & Jelly Pairing Suggestions
When spread on warm toast or folded into a biscuit, our jams and jellies already know how to behave. But they're just as at home on a cheese board, in a glaze, or baked into something new:
Blackberry Jam
Dress up a classic provolone grilled cheese by layering on some bacon and a healthy smear of Blackberry Jam.
Hot Pepper Jam
Build a five-minute cheese board by setting out Hot Pepper Jam next to a bowl of cream cheese and a stack of Ritz crackers.
No Sugar Added Apricot Jam
Give roast pork or chicken a shine by brushing on a thin glaze of No Sugar Added Apricot Jam.
No Sugar Added Double Berry Jam
Add natural fruit sweetness to a batch of shortbread thumbprint cookies by spooning a dollop of No Sugar Added Double Berry Jam in the center.
Fruit Butter Pairing Suggestions
Slathered with your favorite fruit butter, a piece of crusty sourdough bread never tasted better. But our fruit butters taste just as good when baked in or brushed on top:
Apple Butter
Go low-fat by subbing Apple Butter for oil or egg when baking. It's especially good for making ooey-gooey fudge brownies and moist banana bread. Try our No Sugar Added Apple Butter for a low-fat, low-sugar option!
Blackberry Butter
Add sweetness to a grilled pork loin or chicken breast by brushing a homemade glaze made with Blackberry Butter and balsamic vinegar during cooking.
Pear Butter
Brighten the savor by smearing Pear Butter opposite the mayo, lettuce, and tomato on your next turkey club sandwich.
Peach Butter
Cool off on a hot day by spooning a mixture of vanilla yogurt and Peach Butter into freezer-safe trays. Homemade fruity yogurt pops!
Syrup & Honey Pairing Suggestions
Tip the bottle and drizzle your favorite fruit syrup over waffles, pancakes, a biscuit, or a bowl of ice cream. Then give one of these surprising pairings a whirl:
Boysenberry Syrup
Add a bright twist by stirring a spoonful of Boysenberry Syrup into a glass of sun tea or fresh-squeezed lemonade.
Dark Sweet Cherry Syrup
Delight the bourbon fans at your next get-together by subbing out the simple syrup in your Manhattan recipe with an equal amount of Dark Sweet Cherry Syrup.
Dark Wildflower Honey
Sweeten the heat in your favorite stir-fry by whisking a teaspoon or two of Dark Wildflower Honey with the garlic, soy sauce, and spices.
Red Raspberry Syrup
Round out the flavor of a green smoothie or protein shake by blending in a tablespoon of Red Raspberry Syrup.
Pickles, Relish, Sauce & Salsa Pairing Suggestions
It's worth another mention here, even if you've tried it: Pinto bean, cornbread, and Hot Chow Chow. If you're from the South, you know what we're talking about. If you've never had it, you're in for a treat. Here are a few more pairing suggestions that go beyond the hot dog with Hot Dog Sauce and the relish tray with Pickled Dilly Beans, Pickled Beets, and Hot Pickled Okra.
Mild Chow Chow + Fig Jam
Lift the familiar salty-sweet of cheese and crackers by setting a bowl of Mild Chow Chow and a dish of Fig Jam beside the tray at your next gathering.
Medium Salsa
Make yourself a garden-fresh wake-up call by pouring Medium Salsa over your eggs, hash browns, and breakfast sausage.
Hickory Smoke BBQ Sauce + Strawberry Jam
Sweeten the pot at your next barbecue by basting the ribs with a mix of Hickory Smoke BBQ Sauce and Strawberry Jam.
Hot Dog Sauce + Black Raspberry Seedless Jam
Give slow-cooked meatballs a new twist by subbing out ketchup and grape jelly with a blend of Hot Dog Sauce and Black Raspberry Seedless Jam.
