Cane River Mayhaw Jelly

16 Ounce Jar

A Rare Taste of the South: Tart, Floral, and Unmistakably Southern

Experience the truly unique flavor of Louisiana with Cane River Mayhaw Jelly. This exceptional jelly is crafted from the tiny, ruby-red fruit of the Mayhaw tree, which grows wild in the swampy river bottoms of the South, particularly along the historic Cane River near Natchitoches, Louisiana.

Mayhaws are notoriously difficult to harvest, making this jelly a cherished regional specialty. The resulting flavor is delicate, bright, and exquisitely balanced—often described as a beautiful cross between tart apple, sweet pear, and subtle floral honey. It's truly unlike any other fruit spread.
