The Strawberry
Strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa) are part of the Rosaceae family, but unlike other fruits, they are not true berries in the botanical sense. Instead, they are the enlarged stem ends of the plant’s flower, adorned with tiny seeds on their surface. When perfectly ripe, strawberries boast a tender yet firm texture, making them wonderfully juicy and succulent.
Strawberries come in a wide variety of flavours, from sweet tart to lusciously syrupy. Some leaner varieties may have a slightly cottony mouthfeel, but those with higher sugar content offer a mouth-watering burst of flavour, with a delightful mix of sweetness and acidity that has made strawberries one of the most popular fruits in the world. Their bright red colour and enticing aroma are irresistible, whether eaten fresh or turned into delicious jam.
Our Strawberry Jam
At Nyanza Estates, we create our strawberry jam with the utmost care, using only the freshest, ripest strawberries handpicked from our fields. Our strawberries are chosen for their rich flavour and natural sweetness, which we preserve by cutting the fruit into hearty pieces. This gives our jam a delightful texture, allowing you to savour the fruit in every bite.
To make our jam, we combine strawberries and sugar, slowly cooking them together to create a jam that is bursting with flavour. The sweet, juicy strawberries release their natural goodness, resulting in a jam that is rich, fragrant, and satisfyingly chunky. The balance of sweetness and fruit-forward flavour ensures that our strawberry jam can brighten up anything from your morning toast to your favourite dessert.
Our jam kitchens are nut-free, and we are committed to making all our products without artificial colours or flavours. We focus on the true essence of the fruit, highlighting its natural taste and texture. Each batch of our strawberry jam is made in small quantities using steam-jacketed stainless-steel pots, which helps us maintain the quality and consistency that sets Nyanza Estates’ jams apart.
