Morello Cherry Jam

The morello cherry is the wild cousin of the sweet cherry: smaller, sharper and more aromatic. While sweet cherries charm with softness, the Morello stands out for its character: bright acidity, deep flavour, and aromatic intensity that is only enhanced by cooking. It produces a jam with a distinctive character for those who appreciate authentic, bold flavours.

At Lilamand, it is prepared with the same simplicity as all our other jams: 60% Morello cherries and sugar are cooked together in an open copper pan. This traditional method allows the fruit to reveal its full potential, balancing lively tartness with gentle sweetness to create a harmonious and indulgent result. The dark, glossy colour of the jam reflects the fruit’s richness.

Our family business has specialised in fruit in all its forms in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence since 1866. We are candied-fruit confectioners and have been for five generations, so we understand each variety intimately — its flavour potential and how it behaves during cooking. This expertise is evident in our jams, where fruit meets sugar alone, without any artificial additives, to create a jam that is authentic and uncompromising.

Spread on toast, this morello cherry jam adds character to breakfast. It also pairs beautifully with a cheese board, enhances duck or roast poultry and is the perfect addition to a clafoutis or chocolate dessert.
