Christine Ferber Alsace Blackcurrant & Violet Jam 220g

Christine Ferber Alsace blackcurrant & violet jam is a heady mix of tart-sweet currants and aromatic violets. It’s fantastic dolloped on thick yoghurt, or spread on hot buttery toast. The jam is also lovely with fresh croissants and scones.

Experience the magic blends of fresh Alsace fruits, flowers and herbs with Christine Ferber’s jams. When available, the seasonal fruits are harvested locally from the fields, mountains and forests, and cooked daily in very small batches – never more than four kilograms together in one of her copper cauldrons. All are produced in their small kitchen in the small village Niedermorschwihr nestled in the heart of the vineyards in Alsace. And Christine rises at 5.30am every morning to tend to the fruit herself. Availability of the jams varies season by season.

Christine Ferber is France’s ‘Queen of Confitures’. A world renowned master patissière, Christine Ferber has worked with Alain Ducasse (who serves her jams in his restaurants), the Troisgrois family, and Pierre Hermé, amongst others.
