This slow-cooked, sharp gooseberry jam is made from handpicked Somerset gooseberries, capturing the fruit’s natural tang and depth of flavour.
Gooseberry jam has been a British favourite for centuries, with records dating back to the 16th century when it was commonly used as a tart accompaniment to rich meats. In the 19th century, gooseberries were so popular that "gooseberry clubs" sprang up across England, where growers would compete to produce the largest and best fruit. The tradition of enjoying gooseberries in all their forms lives on, with their distinctive sharpness making them a standout ingredient in both sweet and savoury dishes.
Beyond the usual spread on toast, this jam is wonderfully versatile. Use it as a glaze for our pasture raised roast pork leg, where its sharpness cuts through the richness of the meat, or spoon it between layers of a warm Victoria sponge for a nostalgic twist. It also pairs beautifully with creamy cheeses like Brie or Wensleydale, creating a bold contrast of flavours. However you enjoy it, every jar carries a taste of British heritage.
