Strawberry & Linden Honey Jam from France

A traditional recipe enhanced by precise cooking tips

Our strawberry jam is made by us using a unique method that combines maceration of ripe fruit with cooking over high heat in a saucepan, preserving their natural flavors and vibrant color. The delicately fragrant strawberries release their full intensity thanks to our artisanal expertise. The addition of natural pectin guarantees a perfect texture, and rigorous gelation testing confirms the right balance between sweetness and authenticity. Each step of this traditional recipe is designed to enhance the taste of the fruit and add a touch of refinement to your gourmet moments.

An authentic taste thanks to a traditional fruit preparation

It is important to note that our fruit preparation, made with strawberries and French lime blossom honey, like certain types of confit, is not a traditional jam. Unlike classic jams, it is made using a method that preserves the pure, natural flavor of the fruit, without adding excess sugar, relying instead on the natural sugars present in the fruit. It contains a high proportion of fruit (54% strawberries), giving it a lighter texture and a more intense fruity flavor. In addition, the addition of natural pectin and lime blossom honey preserves the original flavors of the fruit as much as possible, for a more authentic and delicate taste experience.

Beyond traditional jams and jellies, our preparation stands out thanks to a modern production technique that preserves the richness and complexity of natural flavors.

Our method is part of a long tradition of jam-making, a true heritage that dates back to grandmother's recipes, perpetuating authentic techniques that respect the original flavors. 

Our strawberry and French lime blossom honey spread, although made by us, is not a traditional jam. Unlike classic products that require long cooking times, gradual boiling, and often large amounts of powdered or cane sugar, this recipe has been prepared using a gentle method that brings out the natural flavor and sweetness of the honey. We use strawberries, cut into pieces, to preserve their rich flavor, then slowly reduce them for a few minutes over medium heat, stirring in a saucepan without adding excess sugar. This modern technique preserves the fruity taste, delicate texture, and thicker consistency without the need for heavy processing.  

Because we mainly use natural sugars found in fruit, this preparation contains a high proportion of strawberries (54%), giving it a light texture and a delicious taste that is appreciated by anyone who cares about their lifestyle. Thanks to a precise combination of ingredients, including natural gelling pectin and linden honey, we have created a product that combines the sweetness of honey with the authentic taste of fruit. Here, the sweetness of the honey never masks the strawberry: it enhances it.

As with old recipes passed down from generation to generation, the idea is not to mask the fruit by cooking it for too long, but to let it rest, cover it and leave it to cool, then reheat it if necessary to achieve the desired consistency. This approach, although inspired by our grandmothers' jams, represents a contemporary step forward in the art of working with strawberries. It reinvents tradition while respecting the heritage of strawberry jams, old-fashioned preserves, and recipes that have been part of our breakfasts for generations.

After potting, simply store in a cool, dark place to ensure stability for several months. Once opened, enjoy a teaspoonful of jam on a plate, on toast, in a fruit salad (pears, bananas, etc.) or as an accompaniment to a snack. The next day, or after a full night, the light texture improves even further: a real treat for lovers of authentic products, designed for everyday use and special gourmet moments.

Available on our website, with careful delivery, this unique preparation can easily be added to your shopping cart, and each order guarantees immediate pleasure. A contemporary delight, rooted in tradition, where strawberries, honey, and the patience of time come together to offer an incomparable result. 

The fusion of a honey with delicate aromas and a refreshing scent

French lime blossom honey is distinguished by its intense fragrance and slight hint of freshness. Harvested in the heart of French forests, it brings a unique aromatic depth to this jam, enhancing the naturally tart flavor of strawberries. Appreciated for its relaxing and digestive benefits, it enriches this recipe with a touch of refinement.
