Description
Strawberry Apple & Vanilla Jam
A bright, fruit-led strawberry jam with Bramley apple for freshness and vanilla for a smooth, rounded finish.
Quick answer: Strawberry Apple & Vanilla Jam is a handmade preserve combining ripe strawberries, Bramley apple and vanilla. It has classic strawberry sweetness, a fresher finish from the apple and a soft aromatic note from the vanilla, making it particularly good for toast, scones, baking and afternoon tea.
Our Strawberry Apple & Vanilla Jam is handmade in small batches in The Artisan Kitchen in Gloucestershire.
The strawberries provide bright summer berry flavour, while Bramley apple adds freshness, gentle acidity and a soft natural set. Vanilla is used with restraint, smoothing the finish without overpowering the fruit.
The result is a more rounded and elegant take on traditional strawberry jam, with familiar fruit flavour and just enough extra depth to make it feel quietly special.
Choose this jam if you love classic strawberry flavour but prefer a fresher, softer and more gently aromatic finish.

Why Add Apple and Vanilla to Strawberry Jam?
Bramley apple is a natural partner for strawberries because it brings gentle acidity and freshness. It balances the sweetness of the berries and helps create a soft, pleasing set.
Vanilla adds warmth and smoothness. Used carefully, it does not dominate the fruit. Instead, it gives the jam a more rounded, almost patisserie-like finish.
Together, the three ingredients create a preserve that feels familiar and comforting, but more layered than a classic strawberry jam.
How to Enjoy It
- Spread on toast, croissants, crumpets or toasted brioche
- Serve with warm scones and clotted cream
- Use as a filling for Victoria sponge, jam tarts or biscuits
- Swirl through Greek yoghurt, porridge or overnight oats
- Spoon over pancakes, waffles or vanilla ice cream
- Add to picnic hampers, afternoon tea trays and breakfast gifts
Chef-crafted, small batch, preserving excellence.
Sarah’s Maker’s Note
Strawberry jam can easily become overly sweet, so the Bramley apple is important here. It keeps the flavour fresh and lively, while the vanilla softens the edges and gives the jam its smooth, rounded finish.
