5 Ways to Gift Mrs. Ruth's Holiday Jams This Season

5 Ways to Gift Mrs. Ruth's Holiday Jams This Season

Two of our most festive flavors are back for the holidays — and they're made for gifting. Winterberry Jam, our award-winning blend of cranberries, apples, and oranges, is a seasonal favorite that sells out fast. And Jingle Berry Jam — a bright, tangy mix of cranberries, strawberries, and orange juice — brings a festive twist to every table. Here are five ways to give them this holiday season.

1. The Holiday Breakfast Basket

Pair both jars with a fresh loaf of sourdough or a bag of English muffins, a pat of cultured butter, and a small jar of clotted cream. Tuck into a lined basket with a sprig of holly for a cozy, indulgent morning gift.

Perfect for: The brunch lover, the family that deserves a slow holiday morning.

Suggested pairings: Sourdough, English muffins, cultured butter, clotted cream, granola.

2. The Cheese Board Upgrade

Winterberry Jam's cranberry-apple-orange depth makes it a natural partner for rich, creamy cheeses. Pair a jar with a wedge of brie or a sharp aged cheddar, a sleeve of water crackers, and a handful of candied walnuts for a board that tastes like the holidays.

Perfect for: The entertainer, the cheese lover, the holiday host.

Suggested pairings: Brie, aged cheddar, water crackers, candied walnuts, fresh rosemary.

3. The Festive Glaze Kit

Both jams double beautifully as glazes for holiday roasts. Bundle a jar of Winterberry Jam with a quality basting brush and a printed recipe card for cranberry-glazed turkey breast or holiday ham. It's a practical, thoughtful gift for the home cook.

Perfect for: The home cook, the holiday dinner host.

Suggested pairings: A basting brush, a recipe card, a quality roasting pan or carving set.

4. The Two-Jar Holiday Set

Let the jams speak for themselves. Wrap Winterberry Jam and Jingle Berry Jam together in a kraft gift box tied with a ribbon — one for the table, one for the pantry. Add a handwritten note with a pairing suggestion and you've got a gift that's personal, premium, and ready in minutes.

Perfect for: The last-minute shopper, the colleague, the neighbor, the teacher.

Suggested pairings: A handwritten pairing card, a ribbon, a kraft gift box.

5. The Full Holiday Pantry Box

Go all in. Stack both jars alongside a bag of single-origin coffee or loose-leaf tea, a bar of dark chocolate, a small jar of local honey, and a bag of shortbread cookies. Present in a wooden crate or lined box for a gift that covers breakfast, dessert, and everything in between.

Perfect for: The foodie, the person who has everything, the host you really want to impress.

Suggested pairings: Single-origin coffee or tea, dark chocolate, local honey, shortbread cookies.
