Are you like me a Jam Fan!

I’m not taking you back to your mis-spent youth wearing staypress trousers and Doctor Martin’s in a town called malice.

I am however referring to that delicious sweet fruity spread for which bread was invented. There is nothing more English than Strawberry Jam sandwiches and a cup of tea, or the epitome of Englishness, The Victoria Sponge.

I have been working today with some great new jam from our good friends over at Southdown Farm. Their preserves, all handmade and bursting with whole fruit make any sponge cake come alive.

Bramble and Apple made with juicy blackberries and bramley apples, Goosberry and Elderflower, Rhubarb with a hint of warming Ginger and in my opinion their very best, Strawberry Preserve. These cakes take me back to when I was a nipper and Mum would make a Victoria Sponge for Sunday tea.

What is your favourite jam recipe?

Do you have a penchant for jam roly poly and custard, or crave peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwiches.

My weakness has to be a slice of Victoria sponge and a mug of tea. All very English.

Now back to those boys from Woking, there is no better single than ‘Town called Malice’.
