My first experience with chef Marc Thuet’s jams was the fig variety, which I bought sort of on a whim and ended up devouring as part of fig jam and goat cheese grilled cheese sandwiches. Simple and seriously delicious.
He’s not making fig jam right now, but the more versatile strawberry jam tastes just as good as part of a grilled cheese, plus can spruce up a regular PB&J.
You’re probably thinking: “Almost $8 on jam?!” But trust, when it is one of two key ingredients you want to go for the top of the line. You’re going to be savouring each bite, so quality is key here. Plus, come on, you deserve it.
But why do I like it? It’s perfectly dense, and when toasted, maintains a crunchy exterior and soft interior. I guarantee* that you won’t cut the roof of your mouth when eating a slice of this toasted. (* Not a guarantee. But I’m pretty sure it won’t happen.)
