About Us

More than an adventure, its a way of life

Pam’s Jamz is a woman-owned, family-operated small business founded by Pamela Kelly Ocasio—a lifelong maker, creator, and believer that food should be crafted with heart. You’ll find us at farmers’ markets across Long Island, artisan shops, specialty tasting events, and right here online.

We take pride in using locally sourced, premium ingredients and producing every jar in intentional small batches. This care results in traditional and specialty jams, marmalades, and baked goods with true-to-fruit flavor, layered complexity, and the unmistakable quality of handcrafted work.

Pam’s Jamz offers two distinct categories of jamz—each crafted with its own purpose, personality, and flavor experience.

Specialty Jamz

Our specialty jamz push flavor into exciting, unexpected territory. Made with bold combinations of fresh fruits and subtle spices, they are crafted for those who crave a little adventure. Some are bright and refreshing, some have a playful kick, and others deliver a “WOW” moment you’ll want to taste again and again.
 They’re joyful, surprising, and unforgettable.

Try them at your own delicious risk—you may never go back to ordinary jam again.

Traditional Jamz

Our traditional jamz honor the classics with elevated, authentic flavor. Made with real fruit you can see and taste, each jar delivers the nostalgic experience of old-fashioned jam—but fuller, fresher, and crafted with the intention lost in mass-produced products.
 Simple, comforting, and deeply satisfying.

Whether you prefer timeless flavors or creative pairings, every jar of Pam’s Jamz is made to bring you joy—one spoonful at a time.

Go Adventure

Our Story

Pam’s Jamz began decades ago, when Pamela and her siblings would gather in the kitchen to bake holiday jam-filled cookies. The store-bought jams they used never tasted like the label promised—so Pamela started making her own.

Those early batches were packed with real fruit and vibrant flavor, and people noticed. Friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers began asking for more. Their excitement—and the unmistakable difference in quality—sparked a passion that grew from a family tradition into an artisanal craft.

Over the years, Pamela perfected her classic, spicy, and specialty jamz, then expanded her offerings to include sourdough cornbreads, English muffins, cinnamon swirl buns, and other baked goods that share the same dedication to flavor and quality.

Today, Pam’s Jamz continues to grow—through farmers’ markets, artisan stores, online sales, event pairings, and collaborations with wineries, cheese shops, and local culinary partners.

At the heart of it all remains the same mission:

Spread the love. Taste the goodness.
