A miniature 28 g jar of rich blackcurrant jam with fruity sloe gin, handmade in Gloucestershire.
Quick answer: Mini Blackcurrant & Sloe Gin Jam is a 28 g individual jar of handmade blackcurrant jam made with sloe gin. Its single-serve size suits afternoon tea, breakfast trays, gift hampers, tasting boxes, wedding favours and place settings.
Small jar, properly bold blackcurrant flavour.
We make this miniature preserve with deep, aromatic blackcurrants and sloe gin. The blackcurrants bring natural sharpness and dark berry intensity, while the sloe gin adds softness, warmth and a rounded finish.
The 28 g jar provides a neat individual portion, making it especially useful when presentation matters as much as flavour.

What Does Blackcurrant & Sloe Gin Jam Taste Like?
Blackcurrant leads with a vivid dark-fruit flavour and lively natural sharpness.
The sloe gin softens the fruit and adds a gently aromatic hedgerow note. As a result, the jam tastes rich and full without becoming too sharp.
Its flavour is deeper and more grown-up than a classic strawberry or raspberry jam, making it particularly suited to cheese, chocolate and richer desserts as well as breakfast.

Sarah’s Maker’s Note
Blackcurrants have such a bold natural flavour that even this miniature jar has plenty of presence. The sloe gin rounds off their sharpness and gives the jam a gently warming finish that works beautifully with scones, cheese and chocolate.
