Varietal Characteristics
Christmas jam begins its journey in the orchards and woods, where oranges, blackberries, red currants and blueberries are carefully picked. Each fruit, carefully selected, must be perfectly ripe to ensure the richest and most authentic flavor. Oranges, with their bright skin and sweet-sour juice, are hand-picked from the trees, while blackberries, red currants and blueberries are gently picked from the bushes, preserving their fragrance and integrity.
Once harvested, the fruits are taken to the laboratory, where the magic of transformation begins. Each fruit is washed thoroughly and prepared for use. Oranges are peeled and cut into pieces, releasing their citrusy aroma. Blackberries, red currants and blueberries are blended together, creating an explosion of colors and flavors.
The heart of this jam is its natural sweetener: brown sugar. This sugar, with its caramelized notes, blends perfectly with the acidity of the fruits, balancing the taste and imparting an enveloping sweetness. But what really makes this Christmas preserve special is the addition of cinnamon. This warm and aromatic spice immediately evokes the warmth of the holidays, recalling the traditions and flavors of Christmas.
