Cherry Jam | Classic Fruit Spread

Traverse Bay Farms was founded in 2001 by Andy and Jennifer LaPointe in Northern Michigan and is headquartered in Bellaire, Michigan. The family started the business to share the region’s fruit flavors through gourmet foods and personal customer service. Its stated priorities include careful preparation, consistent quality and making fruit-based foods part of everyday meals. The company remains family owned and uses locally grown produce when available.

A classic cherry jam brings fruit flavor to toast, baking and simple snack boards. The sold jar size requires supplier confirmation.

Try with toast, a bagel, yogurt or a small dessert portion. For related choices, browse American-made jams and the wider American-made food and pantry collection.

Flavor and serving ideas

• Cherry flavor selection.
• One jar; the sold net weight is awaiting confirmation because available package images disagree.
• A jam for measured portions, meal finishing and side servings.

Start with a small portion of cherry and add more after tasting. Serve it on the side when sharing a meal so each person can choose the amount. Use a clean serving utensil and keep any remaining product separate from food already on a plate.

Package and product details

• Maker: Traverse Bay Farms; family owned since 2001.
• Format: One jar; the sold net weight is awaiting confirmation because available package images disagree.

Choose the named flavor and, where applicable, heat level rather than assuming another recipe in the range uses the same ingredients.

Ingredients and dietary information

The photographed package lists the following ingredients. Supplier confirmation is required because the current online statement differs.

Ingredient statement: Sugar, Cherries, Water, Lemon Juice and Pectin.

Read the current container before eating, especially when shopping for someone with a food allergy or a specific dietary restriction. Recipes and ingredient statements should be checked for the exact flavor ordered. For general help understanding ingredient and allergen statements, see the FDA’s food allergy and label guidance.

Verification pending: Jar-size conflict: current title and front/composite images show 20 oz, while a back-label image shows 15 oz. The photo ingredient list includes water and starts with sugar; web copy lists four ingredients starting with cherries. Confirm sold size and current recipe.

Storage and handling

Refrigerate after opening. The manufacturer recommends enjoying this jam within 60 days for best flavor.

Use a clean utensil or pour out the portion needed, then close the container securely. Keep the original label available so ingredients, storage directions and any printed date can be checked later.

For a meal that uses only part of the container, set aside the serving amount first and return the remaining product to storage as directed. Follow the received package’s handling instructions and inspect the seal before first use.
