Top 5 Christmas Gift Jams

Top 5 Christmas Gift Jams

I absolutely love giving food gifts at Christmas because home made tastes the best and these jams are so special that you're unlikely to find them easily to buy. Homemade Lemon Jam is a tangy, unique jam that can go either sweet or savoury. For something classic try my Perfect White Peach jam. Spiced Beetroot Relish brings a rich, earthy flavour with a hint of spice to sandwiches and cheese boards. If you're serving ham this season, Ham Jam aka pineapple jam with Asian spices pairs beautifully with pork. For something bold and spicy, Candied Jalapeños are a great treat for BBQ enthusiasts!

Top 5 Christmas Gift Jams

This lemon jam is from a restaurant Ahgora in Glebe and is such a unique jam that is perfect for savoury or sweet dishes. But it really comes into its own on savoury dishes like with blinis or on cheese plates. It's nothing like any other lemon jam and is absolutely delicious and moreish. Be prepared to answer for requests for this lemon jam though!

2 - Classic, Perfect Peach Jam

I swear nothing tastes as good as homemade peach jam. Commercial peach jams are nice but this perfect peach jam will have you spooning this on everything. And if it is peach season where you are you'll get them for a bargain price too!

3 - Spiced Beetroot Relish

I've been told by many that they absolutely love this spiced beetroot relish (including chefs that have used this recipe). This is fantastic on sandwiches, as part of a buffet spread, with cheese and psst it also tastes fantastic with leftover sandwiches that people will tend to have after Christmas. Call it food foreshadowing!

4 - Ham Jam - The Tastiest Condiment For Your Christmas Ham

A lot of people have ham for Christmas and while glazes are amazing, they really only penetrate the outside of the ham. Enter this ham jam condiment. This delightful pineapple jam is infused with Asian spices and pairs beautifully with pork. Even if you're not a fan of ham and pineapple pizza, the spices take this combo to a whole new level!

5 - Sweet & Spicy: Candied Jalapenos!

Looking for a spicy sidekick for your steak or roast? Candied jalapeños, simmered in a sugar syrup add a sweet heat to meats. If your friend loves bbq'd meat then they will love these candied jalapenos!
