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.
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.
“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.”
“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.”
