TX Grilling & BBQ Seasoning – a versatile seasoning blend that helps chefs create fantastic results every time. Keep it close at hand for everything from weeknight grilling and pulled pork or chicken to a full Texas-style backyard barbecue.

The Works Mustard – blended with onions, capers and pickles, this mustard is all the companion you'll need for hot dogs, burgers and sandwiches. All the flavors are there to delight - it truly delivers on its "The Works" name, and makes the perfect BBQ companion!

Pineapple Jalapeño Jelly – sweet pineapple meets the lively heat of jalapeño in one of our favorite sweet-and-spicy combinations. Great to snack on while the cooking is underway, and amazing as a sauce and glaze for chicken and pork.

Wood-Fired Steak Seasoning – created with a great steak in mind, this savory seasoning brings the perfect balance of flavors to steaks and other cuts headed for the grill. Simply rub into the meat and you're ready to go - no other seasonings required. A pantry essential for anyone who believes good meat deserves good seasoning.

Questions

What makes BBQ Boys useful for a serious griller?
The box covers several jobs around the grill: Wood Fired Steak Rub for beef, Backyard Burger Blend for burgers, Tejas Grilling & BBQ Sauce for finishing, The Works Mustard for serving, and Pineapple Jalapeño Jelly for a sweet-spicy glaze or snack.
How can Pineapple Jalapeño Jelly fit into a barbecue gift box?
Its sweet pineapple and jalapeño warmth make it a useful glaze for chicken or pork, and it is also an easy appetizer spooned over cream cheese while the grill heats up.
Is BBQ Boys only for Father's Day?
No. Its grilling-focused assortment works for birthdays, host gifts, holidays, housewarmings or anyone who enjoys cooking outdoors.
What is the difference between jam, jelly, preserves, and fruit butter?
Our jams are made with a high density of fruits that are simmered with sugar, then gently puréed into a smooth, thick texture, with some small pieces of fruit. Preserves are made with whole or larger pieces of fruit, suspended in a rich syrup. Jellies are made primarily with fruit juice to make a smooth, light and refreshing taste, and we often suspend juicy morsels of fruit and peppers inside to make them extra delicious. Butters are cooked down and puréed until very smooth and concentrated; despite the name, they contain no dairy butter.
Which jams are your best-sellers?
Our jams and jellies have a very loyal following! In order, our best sellers are: Jalapeño Jelly, Fredericksburg Peach Jam, Brazos River Blackberry Jam, Texas Red Plum Jam, Strawberry Almond Jam, Lemon Fig Jam, Old Austin Apricot Jam, Peach Amaretto & Pecan Jam, Natural Strawberry Jam, East Texas Blueberry Jam, Pineapple Jalapeño Jelly, Cherry Preserves, Raspberry Jam.
What jam should I put on a cheese or charcuterie board?
Our jams make perfect partners for cheese and charcuterie, and we have a host of wonderful flavor combinations to share. Check out our Cheese and Charcuterie pairings page for our top tips! Some highlights are Old Austin Apricot Jam with nutty parmesan, Lemon Fig with goat cheese and prosciutto, and Raspberry Jalapeño Jam with brie and ham.
How much fruit is in your jams?
We put a lot of fruit in every jam we make: by volume, far more than sugar. For example, in our Fredericksburg Peach jam we have 1.3 cups of juicy peaches in every jar; for our Country Apple Butter we simmer 1/2 lb of apples per jar. Our Strawberry Almond Jam has a cup of strawberries and our East Texas Blueberry Jam almost a cup of blueberries. Sugar is often listed first on our labels as it is a very heavy ingredient, but in terms of the amount of ingredients, we will always put as much fruit in as we can!
Do you have any jams with no added sugar?
Yes. New Canaan Farms makes Natural Peach and Natural Strawberry Jam, which have no added sugar and are sweetened with fruit juice. For current ingredients, nutrition, and dietary information, check the individual product page or jar label.
What are the main ingredients in your jams?
Fruit, sugar, citrus pectin and citric acid are the main ingredients for our classic jams. When we have additional flavors there are more ingredients, and we aim to use fresh produce as much as we can. For example, we flavor our fig jam with a fresh slice of lemon to create Lemon Fig Jam, we use fresh serrano peppers for our Cranberry Pepper Jam, and fresh jalapeños for Raspberry Jalapeño Jam.
How long do unopened jams and jellies last?
Most of our jams have a shelf life of two years, unopened. Our Natural Strawberry and Peach jams, and our Pecan Honey Crème, have an unopened shelf life of 12 months. Once opened, store in the refrigerator and consume within 3 months (this should be easy to do!)
Do jams and jellies need to be refrigerated after opening?
Yes. Once opened, refrigerate jarred jams and jellies and follow the storage directions on the label.
Can I keep an unopened jar in the pantry?
Yes. Unopened shelf-stable jars can be kept in the pantry or another cool, dry place until opening, subject to the best-by information on the jar.
Are your jams and jellies gluten-free?
All of our jams are gluten free and vegan, as are the majority of our products. We focus on making our products with whole foods, and minimize artificial preservatives. For specific product ingredients and nutrition facts, please check the relevant product page.
Are New Canaan Farms jams made in a nut-free facility?
No. We use pecans and almonds in some products, so our facility is not nut-free. Our kettles and cooking equipment are thoroughly steam-cleaned and sanitized between cooks to avoid any cross-contamination, but anyone with an allergy should check the label and make decisions appropriate to their needs.
