St. Joseph's Abbey: Spencer, Massachusetts
St. Joseph's Abbey is a monastery of the Catholic Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance (O.C.S.O.), popularly known as the "Trappists", located in Spencer, Massachusetts.
The Abbey was founded in 1950 by Belgian and French Trappist monks from the Monastery of Our Lady of the Valley in Valley Falls, Rhode Island, which had burned to the ground. In the rustic hills of central New England, they established a new home in which to follow an age-old contemplative way of life.
The monastery became known internationally as the origin of the Centering Prayer movement, whose leading proponents were monks at the monastery: Fr. William Meninger, Fr. M. Basil Pennington and Fr. Thomas Keating.
Work has always been greatly esteemed in the Cistercian tradition, since it gives the monks the opportunity to follow in Christ' footsteps and share in His Divine work of creation and restoration. The monks produce products whose sale provides for their livelihood and for the care of the poor. Since the 1950s, they have produced Trappist Preserves, their popular line of jams and jellies. Since 1949, The Holy Rood Guild has created beautiful, finely-tailored liturgical vestments to enhance the dignity of the Sacred Liturgy.

Red raspberry seedless jam
Jul 7, 2024 | By Annette D.We are so happy to find Monastery as a source of the Trappist red raspberry seedless jam! My husband can't eat products which contain seeds, but it is very difficult to find seedless jams anywhere. The Trappist jam is absolutely awesome! And Monastery service is wonderful! Easy to order, and very prompt delivery! Thank you very much!

Perfect gift...

Preserves Best for Diet
May 27, 2024 | By David H.We have purchase Trappist Preserves for years now because they add a little sweetness and have a small amount of fiber. The three we use the most, have thin slices of ginger, orange and lemon included in the mix.
David H.

THE BEST THERE IS!
Mar 2, 2024 | By palmer h.After trying other brands, I panicked when my local store went out of business and I couldn't get the Trappist preserves. a friend told me to check online for another distributor and. low and behold, the Monastery site popped up.! I am here to tell you that there is no better brand than this... for cost, for flavor, for purity. Do yourself the ultimate favor ,,, buy it by the case!

Still the same after many years
Feb 20, 2024 | By Edwin P.I first bought the Trappist strawberry preserved when I lived in CT, in the early 1980s. They were the best I ever had. I would occasionally buy and enjoy other flavors but strawberry is still my favorite. I moved to FL about 5 years ago and local stores do not carry them, so, I buy them by the case over the internet. I enjoy them on toast, on crackers with PB, on crackers with cream cheese, on English muffins. Don't tell anyone, but I've also taken a spoonful right from the jar.

CONSISTENTLY EXCELLENT!
Jan 6, 2023 | By CHRISTOPHER R.I have been buying Trappist Jams, Jellies and Preserves for well over 20 years. Every single selection I have consumed exceeds expectations . . . the quality, flavor and consistency of the product are always appreciated and enjoyed. For the past 5 years, we have chosen to send packs or give individual jars to friends and family. The reception is always grand! Everyone loves the Trappist products. Many of them order on their own.

I love this Jam
Dec 18, 2021 | By Stormy B. Sadly, they won't ship this to Hawaii, so I have them send it to my niece who takes out four jars for her trouble and then tapes it up and sends it to me! So yes, I even pay double shipping, the jam is THAT good!
Stormy B.

Best Concord Grape Jelly
Sep 20, 2021 | By Albert R Concord Grape Jelly cannot be matched with any other supplier. Just disappointed that it cannot be purchased at the Christmas Tree Stores, which is where I bought it. Getting too expensive to buy it direct and have it shipped. Not sure what I will be doing in the future after my last shipment.

No one can beat Trappist Raspberry jam!
Aug 22, 2020 | By Annette M.IMO....Trappist seedless raspberry jam is the most delicious amazing jam in the universe! It tastes like fresh picked raspberries with a fine balance of sugar and tartness. It makes my butter cookies just heavenly. I could eat it with a spoon. I also adore their blackberry jam and boysenberry jam. Thank you Trappist for the gift of love in your raspberry jam. It makes life that much more sweeter.

Memory jelly
Aug 4, 2020 | By MARY G.The Trappist Wine Jellies - Sherry and Port Wine - as wonderfully delicious as always - will forever remind me of my Grandmother, who used to give these jellies to my family every Christmas and Easter, many years ago. Each taste of these today brings back so many fond memories that I thought that I had forgotten. I'm so happy to have found these jellies again!

I am very pleased and will order from you next time as well. Thank you.

Awesome Ginger Preserves
Mar 17, 2020 | By LindaThese preserves are the closest thing I've found to Jamaican ginger. Super intense ginger flavor. I combine them with lime juice and sesame oil for a great Bok Choy salad dressing.

Favorite Preserves
Jan 11, 2020 | By cczzThese are my mother's favorite preserves and it was really nice to find that I can ship them to her directly instead of purchasing locally in New Hampshire and packing them in my suitcase when I go to the south to visit her. Shipping didn't take too long and they came packed well.

Fabulous RedRaspberry
Jan 3, 2020 | By Robin S.The Trappist Red Raspberry Seedless Jam is consistently the best I have ever had. I use it, not only on toast or bagels, but in my baking also. It is delicious in my Raspberry filled Sugar Cookies, as well as in Victoria Sponge, and Almond Raspberry filled Cupcakes. I haven't found anything tastier and as long as I continue to get wonderful comments about how delicious my baking is, I don't intend to change.

Trappist Burgundy Wine Jelly
Dec 24, 2019 | By Carlo D.I remember buying this jelly at the Monestary of the Holy Spirit in Conyers GA as a high school senior on a field trip in 1973. They no longer make it now, 48 years later, so I am happy to have found it here! It is so very good, I ordered a case for Christmas gifts, but kept 2 for myself and am so glad I did...will definitely be reordering and HIGHLY recommend it!!

Sep 4, 2019 | By Edwin P.I like strawberry anything. I've bough many different strawberry preserves over the years but none come close to the Trappist in flavor or texture. I found them years ago and not that I moved away, I'm happy to be able to buy them on line. Just got my second case.
I have them at least six days a week on toast or English muffin with breakfast Great with peanut butter.

Boysenberry Jam!
Apr 16, 2019 | By BARBARA B.We have decided we can't find the boysenberry jam on a regular enough basis here in MA, so ordering from you has been the best idea I ever had. It's great that we can order a 12-pack and they last us a while. Boysenberry is so scrumptious, we go through a jar in a little over a week. Thank you for making this jam and for having it available for shipping!!

Can't be without them
Mar 9, 2019 | By Edwin P.When we moved to New England 37 years ago I discovered Trappist Preserves. I've been buying them ever since as they are the best tasting preserves, no matter the flavor.
We recently moved to Florida and yes, I brought some with me but they were getting low. I ordered a case of Strawberry so my day can start right. Some days on buttered toast with eggs, other days with peanut butter toast. They are also nice between layers of a chocolate cake!

Trappist Raspberry Jam W/Seeds
Feb 14, 2019 | By Allan J. Raspberry Jam with Seeds is easily the best Jam anywhere. There are some good brands in the supermarkets but this is still my favorite. It has the most concentrated flavor. It is the only jam my grandmother used. My friends have said they can easily taste the difference between Trappist and other brands of raspberry w/seeds.
Allan J.
The best of he best!
Feb 8, 2019 | By Thomas P.I have been a devotee of Trappist products for decades, and especially your Damson Plum Jam! I buy it by the case because it's hard to find in Coastal South Carolina. It is unique amongst your fruit jams and preserves; it is neither sweet nor sour, but still has a rich, bold flavor. At the risk of sounding trite . . . it is plummy! By plummy I mean that it is the closest thing I have found that approximates fres plum flavor. Don't you DARE modify the recipe!
Thomas P.
The Jams are Amazing!!!
Jan 7, 2019 | By Maggie RThe jams are the best. They are packaged neatly and shipped fast.

Good price, good taste!
Feb 26, 2018 | By KathyIt is only rarely that I can find ginger preserves on the grocery shelves. I shopped prices on the Internet and found that a case of Trappist ginger preserves would do, particularly since some of my relatives and friends love ginger, too!
Kathy
Thank you!
Feb 14, 2018 | By SharonI grew up on this jam, it was my mom's favorite and became mine as well. I found it again not long ago in a local store, and then it was gone. I am so grateful for the internet, for giving me the tools to find it once again! And thank you Trappists for making this product!

Burgundy Wine Jelly Case
Jan 9, 2018 | By KarenMy husband just loves this jelly. It is so yummy that I use it often too. It is great on top of a cream cheese cracker too. The color is so beautiful and quality is outstanding. This is our second year ordering it and we ended up ordering 2 cases this year. Thank you for making this delicious jelly!

great elderberry
Sep 5, 2017 | By Jens JensenI try to get 2 cases a year for presents (and myself) as you can not find Trappers in Utah. I moved from Vermont. The last 2 cases did have one broken jar which surprised me as the cartons looked fine on the outside. Still happy to have available.
Jens Jensen
Great taste!
Aug 27, 2017 | By Nancy D.Trappist Cranberry Conserve is an excellent accompaniment for turkey or chicken. We eat it all year 'round, with fried chicken, broasted chicken, roast turkey, turkey casserole, etc. I order it by the case, and share it with friends. (It makes a nice house gift!)

Unique taste of Elderberry JELLY
Aug 22, 2017 | By Ed T.A taste from my youth in Pennsylvania - when Grandma would work for hours crafting homemade elderberry jelly. The jelly I buy on-line from Monastery is consistently of excellent quality and brings back memories of a sweeter time in America.

YUM!
Aug 17, 2017 | By Patti B.Trappist Boysenberry Preserves is my favorite jelly or jam of all time. After a friend has tasted it, I usually give them a gift of a jar. It is hard to find even at stores that carry this brand.

Love it!
Apr 1, 2017 | By ChristineI buy the preserves by the case. Boysenberry is the best. No seeds and a nice fruity flavor. Being from the Midwest, boysenberry is not to be found. When, I'm down to a jar or two, I order a case. My daughter loves it on her peanut butter sandwich. I love it on toast. Yum!

Best Red Current Jelly
Mar 13, 2017 | By GretaI first tried Trappist Red Current Jelly in Cape May, New Jersey many years ago and immediately fell in love with it. I started my day with coffee, rye toast with crunchy peanut butter and Trappist Red Current Jelly. Yum! My stores in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania had not yet learned about the high quality of Trappist jellies and preserves so I would buy my Jelly in Cape May and cart it to Camp Hill. Now my local stores do carry Trappist products but not my Red Current Jelly. Yes, it does cost a bit more than similar basic brands, but to me it's worth the delicious taste. So, I buy direct from the Trappist Monks. I have tried other products by Trappist and found their taste and quality to be tops. Thank you Trappist Monks for enabling me and others to buy direct.
Greta
My wife loves it!
Mar 3, 2017 | By JohnMy wife loves the Trappist ginger preserves so much that I now buy it by the case for her from Monastery Greetings!

Feb 23, 2017 | By Dorothea B.Excellent quality currant jelly and it is jelly, not "spread." Spread contains wheat and is probably cheaper to make. I would recommend Monastery jams and jelly to anyone who wants a quality product.

Our first choice
Jan 7, 2017 | By Deacon Robert D.Ever since my retreats at St. Joseph's Abbey, when I brought home Trappist Preserves, we have enjoyed their high quality. No matter what flavor, they never disappoint.

Yummy
Dec 27, 2016 | By sandyTrappist Boysenberry is our all-time family favorites jam. We were so disappointed when the local gracery stores stopped shelving it about two years ago. But glad that we can get it fast, fresh and easily via internet. I have a case delivered to work about once a year and pass out six jars to co-workers, keeping six for my family.

My favorite Trappist preserve
Sep 10, 2016 | By DianaCranberry Conserve is definitely my favorite Trappist preserve: very distinct cranberry taste and wonderful texture due to pieces of cranberries, nuts, and other goodies.

Sweet Orange Marmalade Starts the Day
Sep 1, 2016 | By J SThis flavor is our favorite. Purchased by the case assures we never run out. We gift them to our friends and family and it is always welcomed. We used to buy it locally at the Abbey of the Genesee. When they no longer carried it in their store, we went right to the source and purchased on-line. We hope they will continue to produce this flavor for a long time.

GINGER
Oct 9, 2015 | By Jane B.I love the Trappist Ginger Preserve. Unfortunately, it seems to have disappeared from the stores I used to find it. I cannot find another ginger preserve I deem comparable, even from Scotland ! I hope Trappist continues to make this scrumptious product. I use it in all sorts of recipes for an extra spark of deliciousness !
