About Damson jam

Damson jam is a rich, sweet spread made primarily from damson plums, a small, tart fruit native to Europe and commonly used in British cuisine. The jam typically consists of damsons, sugar, and sometimes a splash of water or lemon juice for balance. With its deep purple color and vibrant, tangy flavor, it’s often enjoyed on toast, scones, or as a complement to cheeses and desserts. Damson plums are naturally high in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins like A and C, offering some health benefits in their unprocessed form. However, the jam’s high sugar content, necessary for preservation and sweetness, can make it less suitable for those watching their sugar intake. Despite this, its concentrated fruity taste and traditional heritage make damson jam a cherished treat in many households.
