Jams, Jellies, & Preserves

Tennessee Mountain Wild Berry Jams &Jellies™ fruit products are picked by hand in the mountains of southeastern Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia and made in small batches to preserve quality and flavor.   Only the finest fruit goes into each batch of jams, jellies and preserves.   Our products contain local Tennessee grown fruit. We do not use artificial flavoring, fillers, or artificial color. All of our fruit is seasonal and most in limited quantities.

We do not stock large supplies of our jams and jellies. They are done one batch at a time and not 500 gallons at a time like commercial jelly companies. If you want a special jam or jelly, please email with your request. We make our jams, jellies and preserves only as Mother Nature dictates. Some seasons we are well stocked, others we are not. Please inquire before ordering.

A native of southern Europe, western and southern Asia, Autumn Olive was introduced to the United States in 1830 and was used as an attractant for wildlife and erosion control. Scientific research has found that the red berry of the Autumn Olive has a high concentration of lycopene, the pigment that colors tomatoes red and that ounce for ounce, the fruit of the Autumn Olive is up to 17 times higher in lycopene than a raw tomato. Researchers are now looking at it's potential source of a food that is capable of reducing the incidence of cancer and also as a means of halting or reversing the growth of cancers. Lycopene has also shown a potential as a deterrent to heart disease, prostate cancer, cervix and gastrointestinal tract cancer.

Autumn Olive berries can be made into jam, jelly or wine.
