La Trinquelinette Strawberry Rhubarb Jam

370 gram jar - France

Open this jar and you are greeted with a loose, bumpy surface of jam. 

This look makes you want to skim the surface instead of taking a big dip with your spoon. As you skim the surface, you pick up bits and pieces and as you lift the spoon the jam trails on.

To the nose you smell the wonderful combination of strawberry and rhubarb. This is one of our favorite combinations of fruit on the planet.

Be sure to tongue the stalactite that is hanging below the spoon as you bring what you know is going to be this amazing mouth-fill.

It is just as you dream about, but even better, way better!

To the tongue there is the jelly, smooth and flavorful, that moves gently as you push it this way and that. The little bits of flesh, that only a strawberry can feel like, are a wonderful chew, which seems to enhance the flavor experience. Like a tactile reinforcement to your mouth.

It is delicious. It is sweet, it is fruity, it creates visions of a perfect croissant to your mind's eye. This jam is meant for flakey buttery pastry. And a large spoon!
