Jalapeño Jelly – a Texas entertaining classic and our constant best-seller, no one can resist this sweet & spicy combination. It is beautiful to look at and really does taste as good as it looks! Spoon over cream cheese for an instant hit that will disappear fast!

Raspberry Jam – bursting with sweet ripe raspberries, our classic Raspberry Jam brings some fruity flavor to cocktail hour. Spread over a whole baked brie (or spoon over and cover in puff pastry before baking) and pair with other soft creamy cheeses and hams.

Crunchy Onion & Garlic Dip Mix – our most popular dip blend and an effortless entertaining staple. Mix with cottage or cream cheese for a quick, flavorful dip, or keep it in the pantry as an easy way to an add a fabulous burst of flavor to everyday cooking.

Chile Lime Salt – a vibrant finishing salt combining chile warmth with a bright citrus note. Set it out at the bar for cocktail rims, sprinkle it over fries and roasted vegetables, or use it to add an extra pop to Mexican-inspired dishes.

Sweet, savory, spicy and made for sharing, the Cocktail Hour Gift Box takes some of the work out of putting something delicious on the table. It's a thoughtful gift for hosts, friends, family and colleagues — or a very good excuse to invite a few people over and open it yourself.

Questions

How do the four products in Cocktail Hour work together for entertaining?
Jalapeño Jelly and Raspberry Jam bring sweet options for cheese and appetizers, Crunchy Onion & Garlic Dip Mix adds a savory snack, and Chile Lime Salt can finish food or rim a drink.
What can I put on a Cocktail Hour snack board?
Add cream cheese or goat cheese, crackers, vegetables, nuts and cured meats. Use the jams and jelly as sweet accents, make the onion-garlic dip for scooping, and sprinkle Chile Lime Salt over fruit or other snacks.
Can Cocktail Hour work for a nonalcoholic gathering?
Absolutely. The box is really about easy snacks and flavor: Chile Lime Salt works with mocktails and fruit just as well as cocktails, while the other products are made for grazing and sharing.
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.
