Jams
Strawberry
Simple. Delicious. Classic. This jam is made with the sweetest, hand picked, perfectly ripe berries available in the local area of Chesterville, Ontario. They are lightly crushed, to release some of their wonderful juices, but you will find that the jam retains identifiable berries in each jar. Redhead Pantry uses Pomona's Universal Pectin to cause our jam and jellies to set, by using this pectin and less sugar, we are able to place more Strawberries into each jar, giving an intense berry flavour that is not over sweetened, reminiscent of eating fresh berries in the field. There are no colours or artificial flavours added to our premium Strawberry Jam.
Apricot
My favourite. This jam is made with fresh, tender, juicy apricots. The fruits are individually selected for ripeness, pitted and sliced by hand. The delicate fresh apricot flavours intensify while cooking into a mouth-watering frenzy of succulent orange amber confiture. Redhead Pantry uses Pomona's Universal Pectin to cause our jam and jellies to set, by using this pectin and less sugar, we are able to place more Apricots into each jar, giving an intense flavour that is perfectly sweetened. There are no colours or artificial flavours added to our premium Apricot Jam.
Raspberry
Intense flavour. This jam is made with fresh local berries, seeds and all. This product is made in limited quantities due to the fragile fruit and short season. Redhead Pantry uses Pomona's Universal Pectin to cause our jam and jellies to set, by using this pectin and less sugar, we are able to place more Raspberries into each jar, giving an intense berry flavour that is not over sweetened, reminiscent of eating fresh berries while amongst the canes. There are no colours or artificial flavours added to our premium Raspberry Jam.
Blueberry
So good that people have report back that they have eaten the whole jar with a spoon in 24 hrs (no bread). This jam is made with wild blueberries picked in Eastern Canada. These small fruits pack a powerful, all natural berry punch. The secret to the spectacular flavour in each jar is the pectin. Redhead Pantry uses Pomona's Universal Pectin to cause our jam and jellies to set, by using this pectin and less sugar, we are able to place more Blueberries into each jar, giving an intense berry flavour. There are no colours or artificial flavours added to our premium Blueberry Jam.
Pear
Simply Ambrosia. This jam is made with Comice Pears, which derive their name from the phrase, Doyenne due Comice, meaning, "top of the show," as they are often celebrated as the best pear variety. The flesh is smooth, juicy, and a warm, creamy white. In the past I have made pear jam with other pears, they do not compare to this version. Due to the limited availability of this fruit, the seasonal output is never certain. Redhead Pantry uses Pomona's Universal Pectin to cause our jam and jellies to set, by using this pectin and less sugar, we are able to place more Pears into each jar, giving an sensational flavour that is perfectly sweetened, reminiscent of eating a tree ripened, nectar laden golden jewel. There are no colours or artificial flavours added to our premium Pear Jam.
