Many know Enders Island as a breathtakingly beautiful spiritual retreat off the coast of Connecticut. The 11-acre island is home to a Catholic retreat facility, recovery residence, and the Sacred Art Institute. However, this coastal oasis is also where you can find the world’s freshest jams.
This peaceful retreat is found off the coast of Mason's Island just south of Mystic. You don't have to swim or even paddle your way there, the island is perfectly reachable by car. Visitors are welcome to the island whether they are participating in a program here or not.
Homemade jams and jellies are produced right on the island in a variety of flavors. Blueberry, cherry, blackberry, and raspberry are some of the traditional flavors offered. The ingredients lists are short and sweet with no funny stuff that you can't pronounce.
Enjoy a few spicier choices like the Fire & Brimstone Hot Pepper Jelly or the Smelly Jelly which is a tangy garlic-onion glaze. The natural goodness is just waiting to burst out of these jars.
Shop for yourself or pick up some of these delightful jams as gifts. Visit St. Michael's Hall on the island where the gift shop is located to find these fresh and oh-so tasty treasures.
