Individual Jam Portions & Mini Jars

Jam portions for organised breakfast service

Individual jam portions make it easy to prepare breakfast tables, buffet counters, meeting catering and guest trays without putting out shared jars and serving spoons. Each serving is portioned ready to place alongside toast, croissants, pastries, scones, crumpets, pancakes, waffles, porridge or breakfast rolls. They also help you keep portions consistent and reduce the amount left behind in opened jars.

This collection includes 13 jam portion products from recognised brands including Tiptree, Bonne Maman, D’arbo, Hartley’s and Lyle’s. Choose from mini glass jars, individual portion packs and squeezy jam sachets depending on the look you want to create and the volume you need to serve.

Mini glass jam jars for guest-facing tables

Mini glass jars are a good choice where breakfast presentation matters, particularly in hotels, boutique B&Bs, guesthouses, serviced accommodation and afternoon tea service. They give guests an individual preserve serving while bringing more character to the table than loose jars or catering tubs.

Tiptree mini jam jars are available in selected strawberry, raspberry and blackcurrant flavours in 28g packs of 72. These work well for hotel breakfasts, corporate breakfast service, accommodation trays and catered events where a smart finish is wanted. Bonne Maman mini preserve jars come in selected strawberry, raspberry and apricot flavours in 30g packs of 15. The smaller case size can suit lower-volume sites, meeting rooms, guesthouses, trial orders or teams wanting to offer a choice of flavours without immediately buying larger quantities.

For a traditional continental breakfast or afternoon tea selection, Bonne Maman conserves are also available in familiar flavours including strawberry, raspberry, apricot and Fine Cut Orange Marmalade.

Sachets and portion packs for busy counters

For canteens, school catering, care settings, conferences, events, workplace breakfasts and self-serve buffets, single-serve portions can be quicker to distribute and replenish. They are simple to add to delivered breakfasts, trays and counters, with no need to manage open jars during service.

Options include Hartley’s assorted 20g jam portions in packs of 100 and Bonne Maman 15g squeezy strawberry jam sachets in packs of 100. Plastic jam portions and foil blister packs from brands such as Hartley’s and Duerr’s are another format to consider when throughput and straightforward clean-up take priority over a glass-jar presentation.

Buying considerations for your team

• Presentation: mini glass jars are well suited to breakfast tables, room trays and afternoon tea stands where the preserve is visible to guests.
• Volume: sachets and individual pots are easier to put out in larger numbers for buffets, canteens and catered functions.
• Portion control: ready-served portions make it easier to plan usage and avoid relying on shared, opened jars.
• Variety: selected fruit flavours and assorted packs can help you offer more choice across a breakfast spread.
• Storage and replenishment: choose case quantities that match how often your team restocks breakfast areas, catering stores or guest supplies.

Build out your breakfast spread

Jam portions can be paired with honey portions, marmalade portions, chocolate spread portions and Marmite portions to cover different guest preferences. For more variety, individual servings of Nutella mini pots, Lotus Biscoff spread portions and clear blossom honey can sit alongside the preserve selection. Add wrapped biscuits, tea bags, coffee sachets, sugar sticks and milk portions when you are preparing a complete breakfast point, hospitality tray or meeting refreshment set-up.
