Jams & Preserves
Jams and preserves have a natural place at breakfast, around a shared meal or whenever a little extra flavour would feel welcome. With taste, serving and occasion in mind, they can bring a sweet or savoury note to your own table or make a thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys good food and sharing it with others.

Questions about Jams & Preserves
How can jams and preserves be served?
| They can be spread at breakfast or served with a meal, depending on whether a sweet or savoury flavour best suits the food and occasion.
How can I choose jams and preserves for someone else?
| Look to the flavours they tend to enjoy, then consider whether they are most likely to serve them at breakfast, with a meal or while sharing food with others.
Can jams and preserves be enjoyed beyond breakfast?
| Yes. Depending on the flavour, they may suit a meal or a sharing occasion as well as breakfast.
What should I consider when choosing for sharing?
| Keep the occasion, the food being served and the tastes of the people sharing it in mind. A flavour that suits all three can be a thoughtful choice for the table.
Choosing flavour for the table
Jams and preserves bring flavour to familiar moments around food: spread at breakfast, served with a meal or brought out when there is something to share. Sweet or savoury, they complement what is being eaten and can make an everyday table feel a little more generous.
Taste should lead the decision, followed by how and when the recipient is likely to serve it. A breakfast choice may call for a different flavour from one intended for a savoury meal, while something for sharing should suit both the occasion and the food alongside it. For a present, picture the recipient’s usual tastes, the meals they enjoy and whether they would be most likely to serve it on an ordinary morning or at a gathering.
