Aunt Nana’s strawberry & thyme jam

The subtle and discreet aroma of garden thyme enhances this classic strawberry jam with a hint of Provencal herb to brighten up your breakfast bread slices.

A real delight with a dab of Breton salted butter on a slice of Uncle Fafa’s “Bee & Cicada” bread.

  • 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons of thyme leaves
