Wee Bee Jammin

Years of picking wild berries and making homemade jam with her family inspired Simone Scarpace to launch her handcrafted jam business, Wee Bee Jammin’. The headquarters are a combination retail shop and canning kitchen on US-31 north of Bear Lake. Pull up and a couple of strutting Tom turkeys, along with a flotsam of strolling fowl, greet you. The store is a one-of-a-kind hybrid of old timey general store and cool boutique. Among the clothes and home décor are shelves stacked with Wee Bee Jammin’ products—some still made from wild berries, others from local fruit. The jams and preserves are made with a special low sugar recipe. The honey is courtesy of Wee Bee’s bees. The preserves are fabulous on homemade toast, but Simone often uses them in savory dishes such as the one below. If you can’t visit her store, shop online at weebeejammin.com.
