What is jam?

Fig jam is a mixture of sugar and figs. Jam is made by reducing and candying the mixture in a bowl.

The jam can be used on toast, pancakes, yoghurt or fritters.

History of Jam :

History goes back to 73 AD, writings show recipes for preserving quinces in honey. Then during the crusades, sugar was introduced in Europe as well as jam. Nevertheless, in the Middle Ages, all confectionery cooked in sugar was called jam, including our candied fruit!

For a long time considered as a premium product, jam has become a pleasure product that can also be offered.

Fig Jam:

In addition to Fig Jam you can find a whole range of artisanal jams such as Cavaillon melon jam, Carpentras strawberry jam... Fig jam goes perfectly with foie gras.

Our jams are made in Provence in an artisanal way by an association of integration of handicapped people of which we are partners since more than 30 years.
