electrolyte-infused jam to fuel adventures
Sometimes you just want real food. We make all-natural, small batch jam for endurance athletes — steady, great-tasting energy for long miles. No synthetic fillers or maltodextrin.

Your body needs steady carbs, but mid-effort fueling is a mental game — having something that tastes great is essential. Our real jam is made from real fruit — absolutely no chemicals or preservatives. It fuels like a gel, but you actually look forward to it.
“there’s no way I’m putting that glass jar of jam in my backpack!”
Born on an ill-prepared backpacking trip through Catalina Island, that line sparked the idea for the first ‘outdoor jam’ — packed with electrolytes, built to fuel better than a gel, and made from ingredients you can actually pronounce.
not your granny's jam
While our jam is handmade in small batches from real fruit and simple ingredients, behind that familiar flavor is a recipe tuned for peak performance. Packing more carbs per ounce than most gels, it goes down easy and still tastes homemade.
real jam stories
“I used to force down gels mid-run, but Jesse Jams is the first fuel I actually look forward to. I had no energy spikes, no GI upset, and the peach ginger is truly delicious — and that's compared to real food, not gross gels. I used two pouches on a 14-mile trail day.”

“This jam has completely replaced gels on my long rides. It goes down way easier, hits my system steadily, and I don’t get that sticky-sweet synthetic aftertaste. More carbs per ounce than my old gels and somehow still tastes like homemade preserves so I look forward to it.”
Ben S.
“Jesse Jams was a game changer on my 10-hour hike in the San Gabriels. I always try to watch what I put in my body, so gels and I never got along because of the chemicals. I also squeezed it onto bread with peanut butter...it’s now my go-to trail fuel and trail lunch in one.”
