Small-batch jams and jellies made with care, seasonal fruit, and a simple idea: good food is even better when it feels personal.

This fall, Smitty’s is offering a limited collection of homemade preserves, available while supplies last.


Fall 2026 Collection

Spiced Granny Smith Apple Jelly

A crisp, seasonal jelly made with Granny Smith apples and cinnamon. Bright apple flavor meets warm fall spice for a preserve that feels right at home on biscuits, toast, or the holiday table.

Jar size: 8oz
Price: $10


Muscadine & Blackberry Jelly

A rich blend of locally sourced muscadines and blackberries, bringing together deep berry flavor, beautiful color, and a distinctly Southern character.

This is one of Smitty’s most distinctive seasonal offerings, made in limited batches from fruit sourced close to home.

Jar size: 8oz and 4oz
Price: $10 (8oz) and $6 (4oz)


Classic Strawberry Jam

Sweet, familiar, and timeless.

Smitty’s strawberry jam is made in small batches for anyone who believes sometimes the classics are classics for a reason.

Jar size: 8oz
Price: $7.50


Small Batches. Seasonal Fruit. When It’s Gone, It’s Gone.

I didn’t build Smitty’s around mass production. I built it around Madeleine, a muscadine grape vine I inherited when we bought our house in Virginia Beach, VA.

Each batch is made by hand in limited quantities using seasonal fruit, traditional preserving methods, and recipes developed in the Smith kitchen…my kitchen (well, my wife’s kitchen-lol).

Some ingredients come from the garden. Others come through local growers, neighbors, seasonal finds, and the occasional good trade. I do my best to source everything locally when able. When I’m not able to do that, I make sure I know where it came from.

The result is a changing collection of preserves made to be enjoyed, shared, or given away to someone you care about.

Why Smitty’s?

Smitty’s grew out of a love for gardening, seasonal food, preserving what the land provides, and sharing the results with other people.

There is something different about opening a jar that somebody actually made. I feel it every time I open a jar I made. I hope you will too!

That is what Smitty’s is meant to feel like.

Not just another product from a shelf.
