GLYNN CHRISTIAN REVIEWS THE ARTISAN KITCHEN’S BLAISDON RED PLUM JAM™
Food writer and broadcaster Glynn Christian tastes the rare Gloucestershire plum jam created by chef Sarah Churchill and handmade by The Artisan Kitchen since 2013.
This film was created following a remarkable chapter in The Artisan Kitchen’s story. In 2014, The Artisan Kitchen’s Blaisdon Red Plum Jam™ received a three-star Great Taste Award, was named among the Great Taste Top 50 Foods and became a finalist for Supreme Champion.
That same year, The Artisan Kitchen was named Small Artisan Producer of the Year, recognising the quality and ambition of Sarah Churchill’s small, chef-led preserve kitchen in Gloucester.
In the film, journalist, food writer and broadcaster Glynn Christian shares his thoughts on the preserve behind that early success. Handmade in small batches using rare Gloucestershire-grown fruit, The Artisan Kitchen’s Blaisdon Red Plum Jam™ is known for its deep ruby colour, generous fruit flavour and beautiful balance of natural sweetness and plum acidity.
The jam has continued to earn recognition in the years since the film was made. In 2022, The Artisan Kitchen’s Blaisdon Red Plum Jam™ won the Great Taste Golden Fork for the South West, adding another important honour to the individual award record of Sarah’s preserve.
Watch the film below to hear Glynn Christian’s review and discover what makes this rare Gloucestershire preserve so distinctive.
