10 minutes
Jam made from fresh berries is the embodiment of traditional British comfort that can transport you to the atmosphere of a morning tea in a country house. Its origin is linked to the long-standing culinary traditions of England, where homemade jams adorn breakfasts and afternoon teas. This jam captivates with its rich berry flavor, where the tartness of lemon complements the sweetness of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. The consistency is delicate and thick, perfect for spreading on toast, adding to yogurt or as a filling for pastries. Thanks to the combination of various berries, its taste is multifaceted and refreshing, while the preparation becomes a true ritual that allows you to enjoy the process and aromas of summer. Sealed in a jar, it becomes a small piece of summer available all year round.
