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.

Ingredients: Elderberry juice, sugar, corn syrup, citric acid, fruit pectin

Sometimes I have been fortunate to find Trappist Elderberry jelly in local stores however my most recent one has closed its doors. I came to the website to purchase it directly. My neighbor growing up used to make it and sometimes she would make us kids homemade waffles and that jelly was my very favorite topping, way better than syrup! I have found Trappist brand to be the closest to what I remember growing up with, not overly sweet but a nice balance of tart-sweet deliciousness.

These products are great. Personal favorite on toast: elderberry, not overly sweet. Seedless red raspberry, a dollop in Icelandic plain yogurt with dark chocolate (80%) shavings, breakfast. Orange marmalade conserve on a biscuit with hot chicken, dinner. The Lemon marmalade on bread with some hot pepper pieces, out of the park! Thanks monks.
