Why Blackcurrant, Apple and Lime Work Together
Blackcurrants have naturally concentrated flavour, deep colour and refreshing acidity. They form the bold foundation of this jam.
Bramley apple adds a gentler orchard-fruit note and helps create a soft, spoonable texture. It rounds the blackcurrant without diluting its character.
Lime brings a final flash of citrus freshness. It sharpens the finish and gives the jam a lighter, more energetic quality.
How to Enjoy It
- Spread on toast, croissants, crumpets or sourdough
- Spoon over pancakes, waffles or porridge
- Swirl through Greek yoghurt or rice pudding
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or cheesecake
- Pair with mature Cheddar, Brie, goat’s cheese or blue cheese
- Use in sponge cakes, muffins, brownies or biscuits
Chef-crafted, small batch, preserving excellence.
Sarah’s Maker’s Note
Blackcurrants are naturally powerful, so the Bramley apple and lime need to support rather than compete with them. The apple softens the texture and acidity, while the lime lifts the finish and keeps the jam tasting bright.
Simple Serving Ideas

Just yum 😋
Alison Timpson –
If you’re looking for proper jam, and not the typical overly sweet offerings of many brands, then you’ll find it here. the quality is superb; so delicately balanced, you can taste hints of apple and lime along with the delicious blackcurrants. I’m reordering today, and will keep this and the red plum jam as kitchen staples. i can’t imagine anyone who appreciates jam not falling in love with this brand. Ordered 4 different kinds a few weeks ago. All delicious. expertly made in our view. thank you Sarah.
