The classic flavor gets a little grown-up elegrance, thanks to Bonne Maman.

Some flavors feel like home. Concord grape is one of them: the taste of childhood lunches, sticky fingers, and the unmistakable purple glow of a PB&J. Now, that classic gets a little grown-up elegance, thanks to Bonne Maman. The beloved preserves brand has just unveiled its newest flavor: Concord Grape Fruit Spread, a jar that manages to be both nostalgic and refreshingly new.

From the very first spoonful, it’s clear this isn’t the grape jelly you grew up with. Bonne Maman’s version is lush and balanced, brimming with premium Concord grapes that give it a richness without tipping into cloying sweetness. The texture is velvety and smooth, which means it spreads like a dream on warm toast or folds beautifully into desserts. Think thumbprint cookies, cheesecake toppings, or even a glossy glaze for roast chicken when you’re feeling adventurous.

True to Bonne Maman’s philosophy, the recipe is refreshingly simple. No high-fructose corn syrup, no artificial colors or flavors. Just real fruit, sugar, and love. It’s Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free, and OU Kosher, making it as at home on the breakfast table as it is on a well-curated cheese board.

And, of course, the jar itself is part of the charm. Bonne Maman’s familiar red-and-white gingham lid makes it instantly recognizable, a cheerful accent in the pantry or on the kitchen counter. At a suggested retail price of $6.99 for a 13-ounce glass jar, it feels like a small indulgence that adds big pleasure to the everyday. You’ll find it at select stores nationwide, from Whole Foods and Publix to Sprouts and The Fresh Market.

What makes this Concord grape spread so appealing is how easily it slips into everyday life. A spoonful on warm buttered toast becomes an instant comfort, while a swirl through yogurt or oatmeal feels like a small luxury. It can dress up a cheese board, double as a quick dessert topping, or even play the secret role in a glossy pan sauce for roast chicken.

Bonne Maman has taken a flavor steeped in memory and given it just the right touch of refinement. The familiar gingham lid signals tradition, but what’s inside the jar feels fresh, elegant, and just a little indulgent.

At the end of the day, it’s not just about jam, it’s about the little rituals that bring joy to the table. With Concord Grape Fruit Spread, Bonne Maman has managed to make the simple feel special, and that’s exactly what makes this jar worth reaching for again and again.
