Blackcurrant Extra Jam from Alain Milliat

Confiture Extra Cassis Noir de Bourgogne Alain Milliat's French blackcurrant jam is made with only three ingredients: blackcurrants grown in Burgundy, sugar and pectin. This classic confiture captures France's beloved cassis de noir—prized for its dark, deep berry flavor, slight tartness and subtle earthy flavor. Ah, mais oui—what does the extra mean? In France, jams designated as extra contain 50% or more fruit. Alain Milliat's fruit preserves are made with 55% fruit, or in this case, 63 grams of blackcurrants per 100 grams of jam. Refrigerate after opening. How to use Blackcurrant Extra Jam is the parfait addition to teatime. Spread on toast, slather on scones or use as a filling to mini jam tarts. This French-made jam is also great for baking and desserts—use to upgrade your thumbprint cookies, try it as a cake filling or fold into crème pâtissière and pipe into éclairs.
