Many of the ingredients that we use in our pepper jelly and our other great products are grown by local farmers in Washington and throughout the Pacific Northwest. We believe that the best natural ingredients make for the best pepper jelly. Keep reading to learn more about the fresh ingredients we use in our pepper jelly, marinade sauce, and other great gourmet offerings.
Some examples of our locally sourced, natural ingredients include but are not limited to:
Apricots
from Wenatchee, Washington
The apricots used in Paula’s Apricot & Ginger Pepper Jelly come straight from nearby farms in Wenatchee, Washington.
Marionberry
from the Pacific Northwest Region
2009 Scovie Award winner, Paula’s Pacific NW Marionberry Pepper Jelly, only uses marionberry grown right here in the Pacific Northwest region. For those of you unfamiliar with marionberry, it has a strong smell and taste similar to blackberries. This is because marionberry is a cross between Chehalem and Olallieberry, which are both crosses of two other types of blackberries themselves.
Raspberry
from the Pacific Northwest Region
Paula’s Red Raspberry Pepper Jelly uses all-natural, organic raspberries grown in, you guessed it — the Pacific Northwest region.
Huckleberry
from the Pacific Northwest Region
Paula’s Pacific NW Marionberry Pepper Jelly wasn’t the only pepper jelly to finish on the podium of the 2009 Scovie Awards. Paula’s Wild Blue Huckleberry Pepper Jelly is the 2009 Scovie Award winner runner up — and it’s easy to taste why. We use hand-picked, wild blue huckleberries from right down the road in the Pacific Northwest.
Strawberry
from the Pacific Northwest Region
When you take a bite of a freshly made peanut butter and jelly sandwich made with Paula’s Strawberry Pepper Jelly, you’ll experience the sweet taste of 100% organic strawberries picked here in the Pacific Northwest.
COMMON
PEPPER JELLY USES
There are tons of different flavor profiles and combinations that are created with our organic ingredients here at Paula’s Pepper Jelly. If you’re looking for inspiration as to what you can do with pepper jelly, check out these common uses!
Cream Cheese
And Crackers
Perhaps the most common use of pepper jelly, though, is for charcuterie boards. Pepper jelly pairs perfectly with cream cheese and crackers for a tasty, one-of-a-kind appetizer. Nearly all of our organic jelly at Paula’s Pepper Jelly goes well on charcuterie boards. But one pepper jelly that we love of cream cheese is Paula’s Bacon & Shallot Pepper Jelly.
PB&J
Sandwiches
The peanut butter and jelly sandwich is an old American classic. But you haven’t lived until you’ve tried a PB&J with one of our Paula’s Pepper Jelly as the J. If you are looking for something more traditional, sweet, and flavorful, try Paula’s Strawberry Pepper Jelly. While fresh bell peppers are one of the ingredients, it has a very mild spice and tastes very similar to traditional jams and jellies — but better!
If you are feeling adventurous, try something like Paula’s Red Raspberry Pepper Jelly for your PB&J. It has a bold, spicy and sweet flavor that will introduce you to flavor combinations you may have never dreamed of!
GRILLING
Sauce
Looking for a new flavor to add to your grilling repertoire? Pepper jelly is the perfect solution. Pepper jelly creates a unique sweet and spicy flavoring to grilled meats that can be just the thing your BBQed meats were missing. If you’re grilling light meats like chicken, pork, or fish, try Paula’s Apricot & Ginger Pepper Jelly — you’ll be glad you did.
DOES ORGANIC
Really Make a Difference?
You bet it does! The main difference between organic produce over traditional produce is how they are grown. Using organic produce is considered a more natural ingredient because when they are grown, there are no pesticides or chemicals used throughout the growing process. Pesticides and other chemicals used during farming can make their way into the food and end up being harmful to both humans and the environment. Due to the lack of pesticides, hormones, and other chemicals that can sometimes make farming easier, extra labor is required for organic products. This, in turn, can increase the price of organic products slightly over conventionally grown products and ingredients. However, in our humble opinion, the environmental and health benefits you get from using organic products and ingredients are well worth paying a little bit extra.
Bell Peppers
Fresh red and green
Fresh red and green bell peppers are a staple ingredient in all of our organic jelly products. They help add a mild spicy flavor and are reasonably healthy for you. Bell peppers are rich with vitamin C, antioxidants, and other beneficial nutrients!
