Hibiscus Jam (330g)
For generations the rich volcanic soil of Meru on the slopes of Mount Kenya has allowed farmers to grow the most succulent fruits and vegetables. Meru Herbs have captured the unique identity, vitality and taste of the region in their exquisite line of Tropical Jams.
This not too sweet jam has a chunky texture and rich dark colour. The flavour is reminiscent of sour cherries with a pleasing tartness.
It tastes that great, it has won a 1 star Great Taste award. Here are some of the comments from the judges:
- A deep glowing ruby jam with floral aroma with a hint of smokiness.
- The flavour is pleasingly fruity, fragrant and acidic and not over sweet. This would be a perfect jam for anyone who prefers less sweet flavours.
- Fabulous garnet colour. Has that unmistakeable tang of hibiscus.
- Lovely fruity aroma. Flavours sing and the jam has beautifully cooked out fruit and skins.
Delicious exotic flavours made with fruit ripened in the African sun. 100% natural.
| Ingredients: Hibiscus (55%), Sugar (45%) |
