Founded in Ipswich, Plum Island Jams evokes memories of warm summers and cool autumns, picking beach plums and blackberries at my grandmother’s house.
Try some of my locally sourced, all-natural jams and jellies — grown and crafted right here in Massachusetts.
About Ruth
Hi, my name is Ruth, and welcome to my online shop!
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 mom taught me to make homemade jams and jellies, and I have been doing it for many years now. I like to create unique flavors that you can’t just find in the grocery store. I’ve created many different kinds over the years, but I’m currently making a few of my very best to maintain a manageable inventory while starting my very own company!
Head over to my online store to try them yourself!
“Last time I bought three Peach Raspberry thinking I’d keep one and give two as thank you gifts. What happened is we ate all three of them. …My younger daughter says it’s AWESOME!”
