Aubel bitter orange jam: made in a copper cauldron
The jams in this range are made in a copper cauldron and contain 60% carefully selected fruit. This high fruit content puts the bitter oranges at the heart of the tasting experience.
How to enjoy this jam
- At breakfast, on bread or with croissants.
- At teatime, on pancakes or waffles.
- In all kinds of recipes: tarts, cakes, yoghurts or desserts.
Bitter orange, typical of marmalades, adds a slightly bitter, fragrant note to breakfast, and also lends itself to glazes and desserts.
Tasty ideas with Aubel bitter orange jam
- Glaze: warmed up, it makes a coating for a loaf cake or gingerbread.
- Sauce: a spoonful in a sauce for duck or poultry adds a citrus note.
- English-style toast: on a slice of buttered toast, just like marmalade.
A gift idea from the region
With its checked cloth tied around the lid, the jar of Aubel bitter orange jam is a lovely addition to a gourmet hamper. Pair it with other specialities from the Liège region – syrup, cuberdons, waffles or artisanal apple juice – for a gift that introduces the Pays de Herve (Herve region).
Size and storage
Packaging: 330 g glass jar. As with any jam, keep it in the fridge once opened and always use a clean spoon.
Frequently asked questions
Does Aubel bitter orange jam need to be kept in the fridge?
Unopened, the jar keeps in a cool, dry place. Once opened, put it in the fridge and always use a clean spoon so the jam does not spoil.
What does “60% fruit” mean?
It shows the proportion of fruit used in the recipe. The higher it is, the more the fruit flavour comes through. Standard jams often contain less.
Can you cook with this jam?
Yes: as well as on bread, it works in tarts, Swiss rolls, filled biscuits, glazes and sauces.
