Crafted from Ontario’s Short Harvest
Black currants ripen during a brief midsummer window in Ontario. We harvest at peak flavour and transform the fruit into jam that captures that seasonal intensity — jar by jar.
Storage
Refrigerate after opening. Best enjoyed within several weeks for peak flavour.

Your jam was superb in every way. Let me count the ways. Firstly, the balance between sweetness and tartness was perfect. Secondly, the jar was full of fruit, and the fruit had it’s shape. This is very uncommon but essential for the full black currant taste. Thirdly, it was not too jammy and dry but was more loose and not too dense and dry. Once again just right.
