Dalhousie Organic Blueberry Jam 285gm
A classic organic blueberry jam with four ingredients and nothing else. Made by a second-generation family business in the County of Dalhousie in Victoria, with over 30 years of experience producing gourmet foods and preserves.
Dalhousie Organic Blueberry Jam is organic blueberries at 47%, organic sugar, lemon concentrate, and pectin. No preservatives, no artificial colours, no artificial flavours, no added water. The lemon concentrate provides natural acidity and helps the pectin set. Pectin is a naturally occurring carbohydrate extracted from citrus fruit peels, used as a gelling agent. That is the full ingredient list.
Blueberry sits between strawberry and raspberry in the flavour spectrum - sweeter and less sharp than raspberry, with a deeper, more complex flavour than strawberry and a rich, dark purple colour that makes it one of the most visually striking of the Dalhousie range. The flavour is distinctly blueberry: mild, slightly earthy, with a clean natural sweetness.
