Wildflower Jellies

Kudzu

Jelly

5 oz. - $3.95

 10 oz. - $5.95

 

The beautiful Kudzu blossoms give this jelly its vibrant, purple color and rich, robust flavor. Folks say it tastes a lot like Mayhaw Jelly.

Kudzu is a coarse, perennial wild plant originally from Japan, which now grows prolifically throughout the Southeastern portion of the United States. Locals call it "the plant that ate the South."  

Honeysuckle

Jelly

5 oz. - $3.95

 10 oz. - $5.95

 

The fragrant, white and yellow blossoms of the honeysuckle vine blossoms give this jelly its amber color and mild honey-like flavor.

Honeysuckle is a semi-evergreen, woody vine that grows along fence lines and hedge rows and at the forest edge.

Rose Blossom

Jelly

5 oz. - $3.95

 10 oz. - $5.95

 

This jelly is made from the blossoms of wild mountain roses, which give our jelly its rosy-appearance and delicate flavor.

Wild mountain roses are climbers, reaching over 15 feet in height, with clusters of small, fragrant flowers.

Dandelion

Jelly

5 oz. - $3.95

 10 oz. - $5.95

 

 

Aaaah.... The gift of spring. No wonder the bees love this flower! The dark yellow flower clusters give this jelly its deep amber color. And the flavor......just like honey!

Dandelions are found just about everywhere....in yards, fields, and even in the cracks of sidewalks.

Wood Violet

Jelly

5 oz. - $3.95

 10 oz. - $5.95

 

The delicate petals of common wood violets are used to make this jelly. With a flavor that melts in your mouth and a rich, bright pink color, who can resist it.

Wood violets can be found in fields, creek banks, yards, and the open woods.

Wild Fruit Jellies & Jams

Fox Grape Jelly

5 oz. - $3.95

 10 oz. - $5.95

 

This jelly is made from the tender, juicy fruits of the wild fox grape. About the size of a BB, these deep purple, tangy grapes give our jelly its rich color and absolutely delicious true grape flavor.

Muscadine Jelly

5 oz. - $3.95

 10 oz. - $5.95

 

Talk about grapes!! These are definitely worth climbing trees for. You've heard of muscadine wine… now you've got to try the jelly. A very distinctive flavor.

Possum Grape Jelly

5 oz. - $3.95

 10 oz. - $5.95

 

Some folks call these grapes Frost Grapes, because of their silvery sheen, or Fall Grapes. We prefer the local name of Possum Grape….. a bit more interesting, don't you think? A somewhat tangy grape taste.

Blackberry Jelly

5 oz. - $3.95

 10 oz. - $5.95

 

What can we say? Other than after you try a homemade jar made from hand-picked berries you'll definitely notice a quality and taste you don't get from commercial brands.

Blackberry Jam

5 oz. - $3.95

 10 oz. - $5.95

 

Another favorite treat, fresh from the forest. Hand-picked and absolutely delicious!!

Mulberry Jelly

5 oz. - $3.95

 10 oz. - $5.95

 

For a taste that is a cross between blackberry and grape, try this. Mulberry trees bear heavily every other year and it is indeed worth the wait.

Elderberry Jelly

5 oz. - $3.95

 10 oz. - $5.95

 

Which came first, the wine or the jelly? Not too tart, not too sweet……just right. Elderberry.

Crabapple Jelly

5 oz. - $3.95

 10 oz. - $5.95

 

No….you won't pucker your lips when you taste this jelly, it's absolutely delicious. There's something about slow cooking and sugar that makes this jelly an old-time favorite.

Ramp Jelly

5 oz. - $3.95

 10 oz. - $5.95

 

Yes....you read correctly.  RAMPS!!! Technically known as a wild leek, this gourmet treat of nature is absolutely fabulous.  Particularly delicious as a glaze for baked ham.
