ABOUT RUTH ADAMS / PLUM ISLAND JAMS

Founded in Ipswich, Plum Island Jams evokes memories of warm summers and cool autumns, picking beach plums and blackberries at my grandmother’s house.

One of my favorite childhood memories is going to Ipswich to visit my grandmother. She had a small cottage on Plum Island Sound, right behind the island. We would pick blackberries, blueberries and raspberries and make muffins, pancakes and many other delicious treats with the berries we had just picked.

My mother taught me how to make jam.  We would pick strawberries every Spring and go home and have a bowl of cornflakes with strawberries on top.  After we enjoyed the fruits of our labor with our special “snack,” we got right to work making strawberry jam. If you have ever made homemade jam you will know there is nothing like smelling that delicious aroma as the berries are cooking over the stove. Then, of course, we always had to sample some on a piece of fresh bread or buttered toast! Yum!! Once you’ve tasted homemade jam you never go back to the store brands.

We are a very small company. We make fresh homemade products in small batches. Part of our mission statement is to support local farms which we do by purchasing most of our fruit from them.  We also try to combine local fruit with fruit from other regions to create a variety of deliciously unique flavors, such as our Raspberry Mango Pineapple.  We sell online and at local craft fairs, farmers markets and a few stores.
