Follain Traditional Rhubarb & Ginger Jam - 370g

Rhubarb and ginger sits in that corner of the British jam shelf for grown-ups, next to the marmalade and the lemon curd. It is the jar people reach for when they want breakfast to have a bit of an opinion.

People in Canada come looking for it because it is hard to explain to anyone who did not grow up with it. You can describe sharp rhubarb and warming ginger all you like. Eventually you just want the jar back in the cupboard.

A 370g jar does a good few weeks of toast, or one very ambitious batch of scones. It keeps happily in the cupboard until you open it, then it moves to the fridge like any jam. Try it on crumpets, swirled into yoghurt, or sandwiched in a sponge for anyone who thinks raspberry is the only option.

Follain makes a range of jams, marmalades and chutneys, so this rarely travels alone. It tends to go into the basket with a loaf of something for toasting, a box of proper tea and, if nobody is watching, a packet of scones.
