Ouse Valley Stem Ginger Jam - 227g

A treat for ginger lovers. Bright, spicy-sweet stem ginger suspended in a soft-set jam.

Ginger at 52%, so this is properly ginger-forward rather than a jam with a hint of it. Lovely on toast and scones, and very good warmed and spooned over ice cream or a steamed pudding.

Made by hand in small batches at Ashgrove Farm in East Sussex, where Ouse Valley have been making preserves since 2004.

FAQs

Is it very spicy?
It is warm rather than hot. Ginger gives heat at the back of the throat, not chilli heat, and the sugar softens it.

Can I cook with it?
Yes. It glazes ham and pork well, and a spoonful loosened with a little water makes a quick sauce for ice cream.

Is it suitable for vegans?
The gelling agent is pectin, not gelatine, so there is nothing animal-derived in the ingredients list.
