Raspberry Vanilla Jam

RaspBerries grown in picture Butte, Alberta

Prairie Hill Fruits is where the raspberries in this jam are from. Rex Vandenberg the man behind the name Prairie Hill Fruits, is a family run farm based in Picture Butte Alberta, where he grows a variety of fruit. He’s got his hands in all sort of agriculture business in his community.

In full discretion- the man reminds me a lot of my father. A lot. From stature to pragmatic demeanour. Their wives even have the same first name.

Our Raspberry Vanilla jam has a touch of vanilla to add a little extra elegance. You’ll want to slather this jam on your scones, or in a jam tart. Add a layer to your Victoria sponge cake. Or it makes a great parfait with yogurt and granola

Saskatoon Gin Jam

Saskatoon Berries from Millet, Alberta

Gin from Turner valley, Alberta

Eileen Roth is the hard working mastermind behind Purple Gem Farms. Purple Gem Farms is the only CANADAGAP certified Saskatoon berry grower in Alberta. Starting production in 2016 they now expect to grow over 56,000 pounds of these little gems every year.

The gin in this jam is Eau Claire Distillery’s Parlour Gin. Eau Claire was born with an immediate pedigree – a true farm-to-glass, certified farm distillery, where grain was produced using 100 year old horse farming methods – a first in North America, thanks to David Farran, of Turner Valley, Alberta. Handing the gain over to his head distiller, Caitlin Quinn, they make award winning gins, vodkas and whiskeys

Adding a touch of Gin to this Jam makes the berries sparkle. The natural almond aromas of the berries really come through. This jam is just as good in savoury application as it is in sweet ones. Pair it with bison, cheese & charcuterie. Mix it with balsamic vinegar to glaze root veggies. Slather it on french toast, or mix it with eau claire gin and soda for a quick cocktail.

Haskap Jam

Haskap Berries from Alcomdale , Alberta

Andrew Rosychuk is the city slicker turned farmer behind the haskap berries we use in this amazing jam. The jammiest jam! In 2005, while taking the Production Horticulture Diploma program at Olds College he started growing haskaps, on the family farm, making him Alberta’s first grower. He is a wealth of knowledge, he has connections all over the Alberta fruit scene and it happy to make introductions.

Honestly, this guy has helped make connections for Preserved that aided in our growth as a business so many times. Consider yourself lucky if you’ve got Andrew in your corner.

Haskaps taste like a mix between blueberries, plums and raspberries. we add local honey to our haskap jam to brighten those amazing floral notes- making this the jammiest jam. Its good on toast, Fantastic on waffles with sour cream and even better in thumbprint cookies. it also plays well in savoury applications. Try it as a glaze for roast pork, with creamy cheeses, pates and charcuterie or baked chicken thighs with ricotta
