BARKERS BLACKCURRANT AND RED ONION JAM (190g)

The Platter Maker That Does All the Work For You

Sweet, tangy, and beautifully complex, this is the jar that transforms a simple cheese board into something guests genuinely talk about. Crafted in New Zealand by Barkers of Geraldine using real New Zealand blackcurrants and sautéed New Zealand red onion, this Blackcurrant and Red Onion Jam is the kind of cleverly balanced condiment that makes entertaining feel effortless and impressive all at once. Bold enough to stand up to strong cheeses, nuanced enough to complement the more delicate ones.

Flavour Profile

Richly fruity and deeply savoury with the dark, jammy intensity of New Zealand blackcurrants balanced beautifully against the sweet, mellow depth of sautéed red onion and the bright tang of red wine vinegar. The result is a condiment that sits in a uniquely satisfying flavour territory, fruity but not sweet, savoury but not sharp, with a rounded complexity that makes it as versatile as it is delicious. This is the jar that makes people reach for another cracker before they have even finished the first.

How to Use It

Simply place the pot in the centre of your platter and let it do the work. Spread it generously over crackers with your favourite cheese, use it as a dipping condiment alongside charcuterie and antipasto, or spoon it alongside grilled meats and roasted vegetables where its sweet, tangy depth adds a genuinely impressive finishing touch. It also works beautifully as a glaze for roasted lamb or pork, stirred through a grilled cheese toastie, or spread on a burger with aged cheddar for an elevated everyday meal. Refrigerate after opening and use within 7 days.

Recipes and Serving Ideas Where Barkers Blackcurrant and Red Onion Jam Shines

This New Zealand crafted jam is the perfect partner for a classic Brie and Cracker Platter, where its tangy berry and caramelised onion depth cuts through the creamy richness of the cheese in a way that is deeply satisfying. It transforms a simple Aged Cheddar and Sourdough Toastie into something genuinely extraordinary, pairs magnificently with a Slow Roasted Lamb Shoulder as a glazing and finishing condiment, and adds a stunning layer of flavour to a Cheese and Charcuterie Board that elevates the whole spread. For a simple but impressive weeknight dinner, brush it over a Pork Fillet in the final minutes of roasting for a beautifully glossy, deeply flavoured result that tastes far more elaborate than it is.
