I’m not a fan of infused jams, but this is fantastic! The vanilla infused peach jam gently flavours and compliments the rich and tasty peaches.
Love it for breakfast and in the afternoon on a scone!!
Always loved the taste of this – reminds me of my childhood.
Loved this amazing jam!
Delicious on salty cheese with cracker. This is a winner!
Hubby and I cannot live without ginger preserve. Once again we were overjoyed to find it at our favourite store!
Delicious and was pleased to see something to family members who don’t like onion etc, was enjoyed.
Worth every rand I’ve paid for it.
Very, very nice. Goes well with the cheese.
Placing an order for two more bottles...absolutely divine!!
This is an incredible jam! It must be a new product to not have hundreds of 5-star reviews. Don't do anything else — just add this to your cart now. It's probably one of the best jams you will taste in your life.
Not too sweet and has an exquisite combination of peach and rooibos, which results in exquisite flavour.
Delicious! My favourite jam thus far.
This jam is very delicious. It has no seeds and the rose taste is very nice.
I will never be able to go back to plain strawberry jam after having this delicious jam! The scent as you open the jar is pure heaven. Even my 3-year-old loves it.
Great combination of rose and strawberry.
I served this jam with fresh scones and whipped cream. 11/10 for the delicate flavouring and beautiful label too. Recurring order from me!!
Delicious on ice cream or camembert cheese.
Absolutely delicious, supposed to be kept for special occasions and visitors. Too late!
