The Jam Flavors
This jam has no preservatives or additives. It is designed to be sweet enough but not too sweet. The ingredients listed on the label are all that is in the jam. What is not listed is the love and passion that is put into the preparation. Each bottle is touched and prepared with an abundance of love and passion. When you taste it you will understand! I hope you will also find creative ways of using the jam beyond the traditional jam on toast.
Spanspek Melon Flavours
The cantaloupe melon is commonly known as spanspek melon in South Africa. It is normally eaten as fresh fruit at breakfast. Raw spanspek is 90% water, 8% carbohydrates, 0.8% protein and 0.2% fat. The seeds are edible and can be dried, roasted and eaten as a snack. The flesh of the melon makes out-of-this-world jam.
Melon n’ Spice Jam
This is a symphony of melon and spice. It is a blend of various flavor notes that tease the palate at different levels. The spices explode gently in your mouth and continue to tease your palate long after. The marriage of sweet and spicy makes this jam very versatile. Great with cheese, ham and crackers. Can be used in cooking stir fries, sticky wings and braaiing.
Melon Ginger n’ Lime Jam
Made with spanspek melon: it is a perfect union of flavours. The earthy flavour notes of fresh ginger infuse with the marmalady lime to create a warm and gentle taste that leaves you yearning for more. Great on buttered toast, scones.
Makataan Melon flavours
This melon is indigenous to Southern Africa. Like the spanspek it is 90% water so is a source of water for the Khoe and the San people who live in the desert. The seeds can be dried, roasted and eaten or ground into flour and cooked as porridge or used to make sauce for stews. The makataan is also used to make jam but it is rare to find this jam in the shops. It takes a lot of the preparation effort and the melon is not easily available on the market. These melons make amazingly delicious jam.
