Fired Up Jellies and Jams

🔥 Pep (Strawberry Habanero):

Let me re-introduce myself.

I see we have a lot more followers around here now, and I don't want to be rude.

I'm Pep, the mascot that started all this.

I've been around the longest, and I've been the best seller that whole time too. 😎

Now before Billy starts running his mouth, let's get something straight. I didn't become the best seller by accident.

I'm sweet strawberry flavor with just the right amount of habanero heat. Enough to get your attention, not enough to hurt you.

That's kind of our thing around here: Sweet. Spicy. Balanced. No chaser required.

Here's where I really shine:
🧀 Cream cheese and crackers
🥓 Breakfast sandwiches
🍔 Burgers
🍗 Wings
🥨 Pretzels
🍖 Ribs

Honestly, if it'll sit still long enough, I'll probably taste good on it.

You can find me on our website or being absolutely phenomenal on top of a block of cream cheese.

Now I also had another brilliant idea.

I suggested we start selling a 3-pack bundle so folks could get more value and save a little on shipping.

Then the other mascots copied me.

🍑 Cindy copied me.

🍓 Patti copied me.

🫐 Billy definitely copied me.

Sure, you can buy a single jar. But then you're scraping the bottom of the jar two weeks later, placing another order, and paying shipping again.

Get outta here with that.

👉 Grab a 3-Pack and stock up.

Or if you're not sure who's your favorite yet, grab the Fired Up Complete Collection and meet all four of us.

And if you're loading up, orders over $50 ship free. I argued for that too.

Just remember...

Everybody starts with Pep. 🔥😎

🫐 Billy: "Wait... does this mean I'm basically a country music celebrity now?"
🔥 Pep: "No."
🍑 Cindy: "Not even a little."
🍓 Patti: "But it is pretty cool."

🍑 Cindy (Cinnful Peach Habanero):
"Y'all ever look at a breakfast eggroll and think, 'This needs more attitude'?"
🔥 Pep (Strawberry Habanero):
"No."
🍑 Cindy:
"Well I did."
🫐 Billy (Blueberry Habanero):
"Wait... breakfast goes inside the eggroll?"
🍑 Cindy:
"Eggs. Bacon. Cheese. Crispy wrapper. Then a little Cinnful Peach Habanero on top."
🫐 Billy:
"That sounds illegal."
🔥 Pep:
"Nope. Just delicious."
🍑 Cindy:
"We found this one at The Brunch Box Food Truck and let me tell ya... if breakfast eggrolls aren't already part of your weekend plans, they should be."
💬 What's the most unexpected thing you've put Fired Up on?

🍓 Patti (Strawberry Vanilla Rhubarb):
I hear there’s going to be strawberries everywhere this weekend.
🔥 Pep (Strawberry Habanero):
Good. Maybe they’ll finally learn what those strawberries are capable of.
🍑 Cindy (Cinnful Peach Habanero):
You mean besides becoming award-winning jam?
🫐 Billy (Blueberry Habanero):
Wait... a whole festival dedicated to strawberries? That's my kind of crowd.
🔥 Pep:
Easy there, blueberry. This one’s not about you.
🍓 Patti:
Whether you're coming for the strawberries, the food, the shopping, or just a day out with family, make sure you stop by and say hello.
🍑 Cindy:
We'll have samples ready.
🫐 Billy:
And I'll be there proving blueberries belong at a strawberry festival.
🔥 Pep:
That's debatable.
👉 Get Fired Up with us at the Kimmswick Strawberry Festival this weekend!
📍 Kimmswick, MO
📅 Saturday & Sunday
Come hungry. We'll handle the rest. 🔥🍓🫐🍑

Omg!! Another Fired Up combo Chilly Jilly's Ice Cream and Treats that we cannot live without!!! A day without Ice Cream from Chilly Jilly’s is a sad sad day! Cool down and excite your taste buds!!! 😃 🎉

This combo has got us FIRED UP!! Tater Headz Fry Co. are good people who are always bringing the deliciousness and we’re lucky to be a part of their new menu item!!! We can’t wait to try! 🤤

We had LOTS of guesses on the upcoming surprise special…

And if you guessed a Fried PB & J… YOU NAILED IT. 🔥

These crispy little sweet treatz are pulling up in TWO flavors:

🍓 Strawberry Vanilla Rhubarb
🍑 Peach Cinnamon Habanero

Sweet. Creamy. Crispy. Slightly unhinged.

And the jams?
All courtesy of Fired Up Jellies & Jams, because regular PB&Js were never going to be enough for us.

Now before everybody starts demanding these…

They are still being perfected and will officially release soon… as soon as they reach full THFCo perfection status.

So the real question is…

Which flavor are you grabbing when they’re ready?

🔥 Pep (Strawberry Habanero):
We’re getting Fired Up at StarView Vineyards this Memorial Day Weekend!

🫐 Billy (Blueberry Habanero):
What is Memorial Day anyway?

🔥 Pep:
Basically the unofficial start of summer. People grill out, BBQ, relax with friends… and lay me out over cream cheese like a champion.

🍑 Cindy (Cinnful Peach Habanero):
I’ll be busy glazin’ pork chops, burgers, brats, and probably stealing the spotlight like usual.

🍓 Patti (Strawberry Vanilla Rhubarb):
Well… it’s also about remembering the men and women who gave everything for our freedom.
All the cookouts, laughs, road trips, and weekends with family we enjoy came at a cost to others.
So while you’re spending time with the people you love this weekend, take a moment to honor those who never made it home to theirs.

🫐 Billy:
I didn’t realize freedom cost that much…

🔥 Pep:
Yeah, kid. So this weekend we celebrate hard, laugh loud, eat good food, and remember why we get to.

👉 We’ll be at Starview Vineyards on Saturday handing out samples and helping everybody get Fired Up for Memorial Day Weekend.

🫐🔥 Billy (Blueberry Habanero):
“I heard y’all were lookin’ for me.”
🌶 Pep (Strawberry Habanero):
Relax. You sold during the holidays.
That don’t make you a legend.
🫐 Billy:
I didn’t come back to be a legend…
I came back to take over summer.
🍑 Cindy (Cinnful Peach Habanero):
Careful. Around here… we earn our spot.
🍓 Patti (Strawberry Vanilla Rhubarb):
I think people missed him…
🫐 Billy:
Good. I’d hate to make a comeback nobody noticed.
🫐 Blueberry Habanero is BACK on the website.
👉 Limited release. When it’s gone… it’s gone.
Don’t wait around wondering where Billy went again.

Get three jars of Billy’s Blueberry Habanero Jam—our boldest breakout star. Sweet, juicy blueberries meet a slow-building habanero heat that doesn’t overpower. It’s a Flavor Bomb for your taste buds and a total showstopper on cream cheese, charcuterie, biscuits, and more.
