Trappist Preserves

Explore the exquisite Trappist Preserves Collection from St. Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, MA. Since 1954, Trappist monks have been crafting delicious preserves, jams, jellies, conserves and marmalades using natural ingredients. 

What is the difference between a conserve, preserve, jam and jelly?

Conserves are a cooked fruit mixture that is similar to a jam but often contain additional ingredients such as nuts, dried fruit and spices.

Preserves have whole fruit or large pieces of fruit. 

Marmalades are usually citrus fruits and include the peels.

Jams are made of mashed fruit.

Jellies are made with strained fruit juice. There are no pieces of fruit in jelly.
