Apricot & Chestnut Honey Jam from France

Apricot & Honey Jam - A delicate maceration of apricots and honey for exquisite flavours

Discover our delicious Apricot & French Chestnut Honey jam, a traditional recipe carefully crafted with ingredients selected with the utmost care. This artisanal jam, with its melt-in-the-mouth texture and remarkable fruity flavor, is made using traditional methods. It combines the woody intensity of chestnut honey with the velvety sweetness of apricot for a delicate and perfectly crafted taste.

Our Hédène apricot and honey jam is made from a careful selection of ripe apricots and our essential chestnut honey harvested in France. The recipe, created by our master jam maker, ensures a harmonious blend of the tart notes of apricots and the distinctive flavors of chestnut honey. The apricots, chosen for their velvety skin and orange hue, are cooked slowly in small batches in a copper pot over medium heat to ensure perfect preparation, preserving their quality and color. By cooking them over high heat, unlike our Black Cherry and Honey Jam, we guarantee that their natural aromas remain vibrant. With a quick cooking time, combined with a precise skimming technique carried out by hand, we eliminate impurities to offer an artisanal jam with a smooth texture and pure taste. 

Apricot & Honey - The perfect blend of honey and fruit

Hédène French chestnut honey pairs perfectly with apricot jam thanks to their complementary flavors. Its powerful aroma, full-bodied character, and bold woody notes enhance the fruity sweetness and natural acidity of the apricot. This carefully crafted gourmet combination creates a refined balance between intensity and freshness, ideal for delighting the palate.

Hédène has studied the best production techniques to ensure that you will consider this product to be your favorite homemade apricot jam. Packaged in our iconic square jar, it embodies true refinement and guarantees incredible flavor. 

Precious amber - A visual and gustatory journey

Its rich, warm burnt orange hue reflects its perfect preparation. It evokes the golden and coppery colors of a sunset, with deep bronze and caramel tones characteristic of chestnuts. This subtly amber-colored vegetable tone, both energetic and soothing, is reminiscent of heather, thyme, and even carrot honey, bringing a feeling of comfort and naturalness. A true feast for the senses, where each finely crafted spoonful embodies the harmony between aesthetics and indulgence.
