Deliciously Exquisite Jam with Unforgettable Flavour
The Blackberry
Blackberries (Rubus fruticosus) are a classic and much-loved member of the Rosaceae family. These deep purple-black berries are composed of tightly packed drupes, each containing its own tiny seed. Known for their rich flavour, blackberries strike a beautiful balance between sweet and tart. The fruit has a soft yet slightly firm texture when fully ripe, with a juicy bite that bursts with flavour.
Blackberries are highly versatile, and their complex flavour makes them perfect for both fresh eating and culinary applications. Their natural sweetness is accompanied by a subtle tang, which gives them a refreshing brightness, while their deep colour adds a striking visual appeal to jams and desserts. Blackberries also contain small seeds that lend a slight texture to the fruit but are not overpowering, making them ideal for jam-making.
Our Blackberry Jam
At Nyanza Estates, we handpick our blackberries at their ripest, ensuring that every berry is full of sweet and tangy flavour. Our blackberry jam is a testament to the rich, vibrant taste of these dark berries. Once harvested, we carefully inspect and prepare each fruit, retaining their natural structure to create a jam that is textured yet smooth, with luscious chunks of blackberries in every spoonful.
We craft our blackberry jam by gently cooking the blackberries with sugar, allowing the flavours to meld while preserving the natural essence of the fruit. The result is a jam that is sweet with a hint of tartness, capturing the complexity of blackberries in a deliciously thick spread. The bold flavour and deep, dark colour of our blackberry jam make it a perfect accompaniment to both sweet and savoury dishes.
As with all our jams, we pride ourselves on producing our blackberry jam in small batches, using steam-jacketed stainless-steel pots in our nut-free kitchens. We never use artificial colours or flavours, allowing the true taste of blackberries to shine through. Each jar of Nyanza Estates’ blackberry jam reflects our dedication to quality and our commitment to highlighting the natural goodness of handpicked fruit.
