Woodland Pantry Preserves
From our woodlands to your table.
Small-batch preserves crafted in Milan, New Hampshire, with bright fruit, thoughtful flavor pairings, and a little North Country magic in every jar.
Welcome to the pantry
Fruit worth celebrating
Our Woodland Pantry preserves begin with familiar berries and become something special through carefully chosen touches such as Madagascar vanilla, fresh basil, honey, and fragrant orange zest.
Spread them over warm toast, tuck them onto a cheese board, spoon them over dessert, or eat them straight from the jar. We will not judge.
The Woodland Pantry Collection
Four flavors of the North Country
Each jar has its own personality—from pure, bright berry flavor to a garden-fresh savory edge.
Stearns Brook Raspberry Preserve
Bright, fragrant raspberries are finished with Madagascar vanilla bean paste, giving the preserve warm aromatic depth without taking anything away from the fruit. The vanilla rounds the raspberry’s natural tartness and makes the entire jar smell almost impossibly good.
Warm biscuits, buttered toast, croissants, scones, Brie, Camembert, cheesecake, vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt, oatmeal, chocolate cake, and thumbprint cookies.
Cane sugar, raspberries, bottled lemon juice, fruit pectin, Madagascar vanilla bean paste.
North Woods Backroad Berry Preserve
Four familiar berries come together in one unapologetically fruit-forward preserve. It is juicy, bright, and richly layered, with no honey, maple, vanilla, or spice competing for attention—just sweet berries allowed to breathe.
Buttermilk biscuits, toast, pancakes, waffles, peanut butter, baked Brie, cream cheese, yogurt, oatmeal, pound cake, vanilla ice cream, hand pies, and breakfast pastries.
Cane sugar, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, bottled lemon juice, fruit pectin.
Summer Garden Strawberry Basil Preserve
Ripe strawberries are gently sweetened with honey and infused with fresh basil. The basil adds a fragrant, garden-fresh finish rather than an overpowering herbal taste, making this preserve equally at home on a cheese board, at breakfast, or beside a savory meal.
Fresh mozzarella, burrata, goat cheese, Brie, cream cheese, prosciutto, crostini, grilled chicken, roasted pork, cheesecake, shortcake, biscuits, and fresh summer salads.
Cane sugar, strawberries, honey, bottled lemon juice, fruit pectin, fresh basil.
Woodland Sunrise Preserve
Wild blueberries lead the flavor, blackberries add richness, and fresh orange zest provides the bright lift that inspired the name. Golden honey softens the edges without hiding the fruit, creating a vibrant preserve that feels like morning light filtering through the trees.
Goat cheese, cream cheese, Brie, sharp cheddar, warm scones, English muffins, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, yogurt, lemon pound cake, cheesecake, roasted pork, and baked chicken.
Cane sugar, wild blueberries, blackberries, honey, bottled lemon juice, fruit pectin, fresh orange zest.
Androscoggin After Dark Signature Preserves
The darker side of the pantry
Inspired by the forests, rivers, secrets, and moonlit backroads of Erica R. Buteau’s Androscoggin After Dark series.
Riverbank Reserve
Lush, smooth, and quietly indulgent. Blueberries and honey create a deep, mellow fruit flavor while Madagascar vanilla adds a soft, velvety finish. It is comforting enough for breakfast and elegant enough for a carefully built cheese board.
Fresh chèvre, Brie, cream cheese, lemon scones, pancakes, waffles, yogurt, cheesecake, pound cake, vanilla ice cream, and warm biscuits.
Cane sugar, blueberries, honey, bottled lemon juice, liquid fruit pectin, Madagascar vanilla bean paste.
Midnight Bramble
Dark, bold, and unforgettable. Rich blackberries meet bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup and Madagascar vanilla, creating warm caramel notes and a deep, almost smoky finish. It is the moodiest jar in the pantry—and proudly so.
Smoked cheddar, aged cheddar, Brie, goat cheese, dark chocolate, brownies, vanilla ice cream, waffles, French toast, pork tenderloin, glazed chicken, and warm buttery biscuits.
Cane sugar, blackberries, bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup, bottled lemon juice, fruit pectin, Madagascar vanilla bean paste.
Serving Inspiration
Build a Woodland Pantry cheese board
Choose two or three preserves, then add a mix of creamy and aged cheeses, crisp crackers or crostini, toasted nuts, fresh fruit, and a mild cured meat.
