| Trappist Preserves Monastery Products |
How Trappist Preserves Began In the autumn of 1954 the monks who worked in the Abbey herb garden decided to make a batch of mint jelly. The mint had been abundant that year, and they wanted to put it to good use. Their homemade jelly was sent down the hill to be sold at the Porter's Lodge. The response was enthusiastic. Soon the brothers experimented with other varieties of fruit and wine jellies, jams and preserves. And there were great hopes for that jelly-making might prove to be a successful and compatible monastic industry. From these humble beginnings Trappist Preserves grew into a profitable business which continues to contribute to the monks' livelihood. At present, Trappist Preserves is the top-selling specialty preserves in New England and is found in most major supermarkets. About St. Joseph's Abbey St. Joseph's Abbey is a cloistered Roman Catholic monastery just north of Spencer, Massachusetts, of the Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance, popularly known as Trappists. Following Saint Benedict's sixth century Rule for Monasteries, the monks live in silence and solitude, in prayer and penitence, thus rendering God "a service that is at once humble and noble". |
