Deeply dark in color with complex tantalizing tastes, pierced by bursts of high-concentrated sweet tart flavor, it’s no wonder this is the brand of jam that Parisians prefer at home and is served in coffee houses throughout the city. Juicy, ripe blackberries plucked right from the shrub after having grown plump and sweet make this vibrant pot of delicious jam something to revere. Made in small batches in the Trinquelin village west of Burgundy, this jam is amazingly flavorful because it has the highest ratio of real blackberries to sugar that we’ve ever seen.
This jam isn’t too refined to spread on a peanut butter or cream cheese sandwich, but you should also try it with a meat dish for a fun twist on an entree; you can glaze ham, poultry, or lamb. For something sweeter, bake up blackberry jam scones or shortbread thumbprint cookies. Try smearing some between cake layers, or simply mixing it into yogurt, oatmeal, and ice cream.
Fairway Marketplace is brought to you by Fairway Market, a specialty food chain that started back in 1933 with a small fruit and vegetable stand on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Today, Fairway Market is legendary for its experts and expertise in all things food, and a relentless obsession with quality throughout all of the different departments in its stores. In December of 2011, Fairway launched this online shop, so that we could bring the best of the best of what Fairway offers, at the same great values, to those who don’t live near one of our stores. Why keep all of this foodie goodness to ourselves? That simply would not be fair.
