Where to Buy Artisan Jam and Preserves Online
Where can you buy artisan jam and preserves online? You can buy them here, at Madeline's. Our Jams & Jellies collection carries small-batch fruit jams, marmalades, chutneys, and low-sugar options from independent US makers, sold by the jar so you can pick the flavors you want. Because Madeline's is a marketplace, you can order jams from several makers in one cart and compare a classic fruit jam against a savory chutney side by side.
Artisan jam is made in small batches with a high proportion of real fruit, which is what gives it a fresher, less candy-sweet flavor than most mass-market jam. The picks below come from named US makers like Blake Hill Preserves in Vermont, Miss Kim's, and Savannah Sauce Company. All picks are real and in stock.

How to choose artisan jam
- Decide sweet or savory. Fruit jams and marmalades suit toast and baking, while chutneys and chili jams are made for cheese, charcuterie, and roasts.
- Look for fruit first on the label. The best artisan jams lead with real fruit rather than added sugar, which is why they taste brighter and less candied.
- Choose a low-sugar option if you want more fruit flavor. Low-sugar jams like Miss Kim's apricot let the fruit come through and suit anyone cutting back on sugar.
- For a cheese board, pick one sweet and one savory. A berry preserve plus a chutney or chili jam covers most cheeses. See our guide to the best jams for a cheese board.
- For a gift, an unusual flavor stands out. A jar like gooseberry elderflower or FROG jam makes a better gift than a supermarket flavor.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the best place to buy artisan jam online?
A curated marketplace like Madeline's is a practical option, because it gathers small-batch jam, marmalade, and chutney from several independent US makers so you can shop by flavor and order together. The Jams & Jellies collection includes fruit jams, marmalades, chutneys, and low-sugar options.
What is the difference between jam, preserves, and marmalade?
Jam is made from crushed or chopped fruit cooked with sugar until thick. Preserves keep larger pieces or whole small fruit suspended in the set. Marmalade is a citrus preserve that includes the peel, which gives it a signature bittersweet edge.
How long does jam last after opening?
Unopened jars keep for a long time in the pantry. Once opened, refrigerate the jar and use it within about one month for the best flavor, or follow the date on the label. Always use a clean spoon.
Which jam is best for a cheese board?
For a cheese board, choose a berry preserve or a savory chutney or chili jam. Options like Blackberry Blueberry Balsamic, Plum & Apple Chutney, and Fresno & Thai Spicy Chili Jam all pair well with cheese and charcuterie.
Do you have low-sugar jam?
Yes. Miss Kim's makes low-sugar options such as Low Sugar Apricot Jam and Low Sugar Mixed Berry, which use less added sugar so the fruit flavor stays forward.
