V Smiley Preserves Cherry Rosehip Hibiscus Honey Jam is a floral, fruity jam with a balanced profile. The blend of ripe cherries, apples, rosehips, hibiscus flower, and honey is naturally sweetened with lemon juice, giving the jam a bright, tart, and gently herbaceous profile with undertones of vanilla and stone fruit. Mild and delicate, this unique jam is perfect with buttery bloomy cheeses like Murray’s La Tur or Cremeux de Bourgogne.
“I'm in love with this jam. It's floral without being overpowering, and has the perfect blend of sweet fruit notes and a gentle herbal essence. Personally, I like it spread over a fresh biscuit with a dollop of butter, but it's also an incredible pairing with bright, soft goat cheeses or even a crunchy cheddar.”
