His mother would purchase farm-fresh apples and peaches, and then she would wash and peel them before dicing them. The kitchen would soon be filled with the sweet aroma of apples and cinnamon cooking atop the vintage stove in their little kitchen. Though her daylong efforts would always tire her out, the pantry was well-stocked with tasty jams.
Continuing the Family Tradition
Matthew has carried on his mother's tradition of making fine-tasting premium jams and jellies, out of only the freshest fruits and all-natural ingredients. He works hard to not only follow the family recipes, but also expand on them and create new ones. These are then shared with the nation through the delicious products Jellybear Jelly Company offers.
As a child growing up in Western New York, our owner and founder, Matthew, remembers watching his mother can some of her family-famous applesauce and homemade peach jellies. She would carefully check each of those canning jars for cracks; many were the same old ones that had served her well during past canning seasons.

I have tried several of Jellybear's jams and jellies and have not been disappointed. They were all excellent. My favorite was the Apple Pie jam warmed and put over vanilla ice cream, tasted like an apple pie.

Your jams and jellies are wonderful! They remind me of my grandmother’s homemade jams. I like all the varieties however, I especially like the Banana Rum Raisin and the Fig jams.
