Blake Hill Preserves at Madeline's
Blake Hill Preserves is a family-run maker of small-batch jams, marmalades, and savory preserves based in Vermont. The kitchen works with locally grown and seasonal fruit and is built around traditional methods: fine-cut marmalades, fruit-forward cheese-pairing jams, and slow-simmered chutneys. Many of the recipes are designed specifically to sit next to cheese, which is why so much of the line names the pairing right on the label.
The range splits into a few clear families. There are classic and specialty marmalades like Classic Orange and Meyer Lemon. There are cheese-pairing and botanical jams such as Blackberry Blueberry Balsamic, Caramelized Fig with Pear and Honey, Gooseberry with Elderflower, and Black Currant with Wild Mint. And there is a savory side built for the board and the plate, including Date and Cumin Chutney, Plum and Apple Chutney, Maple Onion Jam, and a Fresno and Thai Spicy Chili Jam.
Blake Hill also makes a line of vegan "Naked" spreads. The Naked chocolate spreads (mint, orange, spiced rum) use pure dark cocoa with no dairy, and the Naked fruit spreads (raspberry, strawberry) keep the fruit front and center. The kitchen is certified allergen-free, so the vegan and allergen-conscious products are made without cross-contact. Most jars sit around $10, which makes the line easy to mix and match for a cheese board or a gift.
