Product Story

Gooseberry & Elderflower Jam

Gooseberry & elderflower jam brings plump, tangy gooseberries together with the delicate floral notes of elderflower infusion. Soft and delicate, with gentle sweetness, it evokes the charm of a long English summer evening. Based on a classic countryside recipe, the combination sits firmly within the tradition of English preserves.

Highfield Preserves handcrafts it in small batches using traditional open-pan methods. Gooseberries are the fruit at the centre of the recipe, with elderflower added as an infusion, and the jam is prepared with 60g fruit per 100g. Fruit pectin serves as the gelling agent, while citric acid regulates acidity.

Spread it over warm toast, crumpets or scones for a traditional way to enjoy its tangy fruit and delicate floral notes. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans, it is a thoughtful choice for a shared breakfast or afternoon spread, especially when choosing a classic preserve for someone who follows either diet.
