Wild Bitter Cherry Jam 220g

by Mica Ilinca

Description

The wild bitter cherry is considered to make one of the most refined jams often known as 'the queen of the pantry'.

An authentic, Romanian jam recipe made with only wild, bitter cherries & sugar. That's it! 100% natural & free from additives & preservatives. Prepared in the traditional way - in a cauldron like pan over a wood fire, by hand. This jam is boiled at a low temperature and with a minimum of sugar in order to preserve the vitamins, aroma & colour of the fruit - 70% fruit & 30% sugar.

This jam packs a punch with a slight bitter flavour surrounded by sweetness. We love it on hot buttered toast, with yoghurt, paired with soft cheese or dolloped on ice cream. The bitter cherries, now more rarely found, make this product even more of a gem.

Please be aware that this is a hand made product - although all measures are taken to remove stones from the fruit, there is the chance some may remain.
