5 Luxury Jams We Love
Every summer, the countryside abounds with fresh, juicy berries. Some of these berries are packaged and sold fresh, frozen, or dried. Others are converted into jam. However, not all jams are created equal. Jams differ widely due to the type of berries and the amount of sugar in the cooking process. Many companies put way too much sugar into their jams because sugar increases shelf life and overall yield. On the other hand, too much sugar can alter the natural taste of the berries and create a jam that is far too sweet. Instead of searching the grocery store for high quality jams, we have done the work for you! Below is a list of luxury jams perfect for your toast.
SQIRL Jam
SQIRL uses high quality berries in interesting combinations to round out the flavors. For instance, the blackberries are combined with mulberries to create a more earthy flavor. There are many different flavors to choose from and they are cooked with low sugar and very little pectin. This jam is a slam dunk that screams luxury making it perfect for your scones at your next tea party.
INNA Jam
