Lakeside Gourmet

Since 1997, Lakeside Gourmet has been creating small-batch gourmet pepper jams born from a love of good food and gift giving. Founders Colleen and Brenda worked passionately to perfect recipes that were originally shared with friends and family at gatherings and special occasions. As demand grew and customers continued asking for more, their passion for jam making became the foundation of Lakeside Gourmet.

Our gourmet pepper jams are handcrafted in small batches with the goal of inspiring and elevating recipes. Through word of mouth and growing customer demand, Lakeside Gourmet expanded from local gatherings to farmers markets, trade shows, specialty markets, retail shops, grocery stores, and wholesale partners. Our products were eventually carried by Hy-Vee stores throughout the Midwest, introducing our jams to customers across multiple states.

In 2016, Lakeside Gourmet took a brief hiatus, but loyal customers continued to ask when the jams would return. Due to overwhelming demand, Colleen reached out to Teresa Peters, who, along with her husband Rod, took ownership of Lakeside Gourmet and worked to bring the beloved products back to market.

Today, based in Hayward, Wisconsin, Lakeside Gourmet continues its family tradition of producing delicious small-batch pepper jams, with Colleen once again involved in the process. Our products can be found at local farmers markets, trade shows, wholesale partners throughout Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota, and through our online store. We remain committed to quality, family traditions, and creating products that inspire and elevate recipes?from appetizers and hors d'oeuvres to main courses and desserts.
