During the two last weeks, we organized Free tasting sessions in the different stores where you can buy our jams (see the list on the right side). It shows how people having no special feeling for jams can enjoy with the natural taste of fruits. In a large proportion, the one who tastes, go back home with a jars to renew the pleasure or share the discovery with the family.
We believe this actions should be done regularly every week and we are looking for a saleswoman or salesman interested with the promotion of our jams in Bacolod. Contact us if interested.
The question of the week:
Is it possible to make jam with any kind of fruit?
First we have to define what is a fruit. The botanist will answer: "The ripened reproductive body of a seed plant." Not very romantic but exact. So tomato, cucumber, pods of ipil ipil or a pumpkin are fruits. And the answer is yes we can, in theory, any kind of fruit, even nuts can be used to prepare jams. The conditions are alway the same: to have enough pectin for jellification, the good quantity of sugar and the good acidity. Of course a good taste is also required! And hard fruits like nuts will need an extra preparation. It is also possible to use herbs, flowers, wines, alcohols,... but, like for any fruit, the art of the "confiturier" is to keep the delicate flavor of the natural product.
