Our Story

From a kitchen table
to a community staple

Country Gourmet Jams and Jellies started the way the best things do — with a pot, a recipe, and a stubborn belief that food should taste like something.

Located in the heart of New Auburn, we've been crafting small-batch preserves for years using fruit from neighboring orchards and farms. Every batch is cooked in cast iron, stirred by hand, and packed into jars while still warm. No industrial equipment. No preservatives. Just fruit, sugar, and patience.

What began as weekend projects for neighbors and friends grew into something bigger — a local favorite, a gift-shop staple, and a source of genuine pride for anyone who's tasted the difference real ingredients make.

Country Gourmet Jams and Jellies
Our Process

Three steps.
Zero shortcuts.

01

Source

We work with local orchards and farms across central Minnesota, picking fruit at peak ripeness each season. When the fruit is right, the jam writes itself.

02

Cook

Small batches in cast-iron pots, cooked low and slow. We never rush the set — real pectin needs time, and so do we.

03

Jar

Packed hot into clean glass jars, sealed, and labeled by hand. Every jar leaves our kitchen ready for your table or a gift box.

"The strawberry rhubarb is unlike anything I've tasted from a store. You can tell it's made with real fruit and real care. We buy a jar every visit."

Sarah M. St. Cloud, MN

"Brought a gift box to my in-laws and they asked where I got it. Now it's our go-to hostess gift for every occasion. The fig and walnut is spectacular."
