Apricot & Verjuice Jam
Lillie O’Brien established London Borough of Jam in 2011, following five years as pastry chef at St John Bread & Wine in London, United Kingdom. Flavors are honest and unadulterated; it is fruit-driven, rather than sugar-driven. LBJ preserves contain no more than 4 ingredients and are dairy free & vegan.
The preserves combine seasonal fruits – sourced in the UK, France, Italy and Spain – such as Victoria Plums, Greengages, Raspberries, Rhubarb and Seville Oranges with unusual additions such as bay leaf, cardamom, cocoa nibs, lemon verbena, wild fennel pollen and verjuice which we believe enhance the fruit flavors and maintain natural, respectful combinations.
Jammy, honeyed-sweet Apricots are paired with Verjuice, a highly acidic, non-alcoholic ingredient made from the juice of pressed unripe grapes. We add it to our Apricot jam to provide a gentle acidity, offering a more sophisticated substitute for lemon juice. It’s not a dominant flavour, but one that balances the sweetness. Luscious when dolloped on a gooey piece of Brie de Meaux.
Ingredients: Apricots, unrefined cane sugar, verjuice & lemon juice
