  Marilyn's Jam Session evolved into a business through a combination of providential circumstances.  I love to improvise in the kitchen, and my husband, Scott, loves to improvise as a jazz pianist. So, I create the jams, and he creates their names ( including the name of our company). 

My gourmet preserves are either original variations on traditional preserves, or are entirely new creations.  Production is home style.  I make them in very small batches without adding any preservatives or defoaming agent. I get rid of the naturally occurring foam the old fashioned way. I hand skim it off the jelly surface before sealing the jars.

Whenever possible, my jams, jellies, preserves, relishes, etc., are made with Maine grown produce. I always use locally grown blueberries, blackberries, wild plums, rhubarb, and crab apples. Several of my preserves are made with uncommon peppers grown in Brooklin, Maine. 

I hope that you will enjoy tasting my jams as much as I enjoy creating them!
