1. What is mixed fruit jam?
Since the Stone Age, people have found a way to preserve fruits and other foods for a longer time. That is considered a remarkable step forward for mankind which saves effort in gathering, hunting, and improving the performance of each individual.
In ancient Rome, although sugar was not yet born, people already learned how to marinate fruit in honey to create a food that is both delicious, sweet and well-preserved over a long time. It was the forerunner of today’s fruit jams.
Mixed fruit jams (also known as Chunky) are sauces or jams that still contain pieces of fruit. Chunky is a commonly used ingredient in the field of bartending or decorating drinks. Besides, Chunky jam can also be extremely suitable for pastry applications.
In general, no matter which purpose it is used for, baking or mixing, Chunky is still the most ideal choice to enrich the flavor as well as create delicate beauty and color for the finished product. From fruits to even flowers, fresh fruit preserves can still offer enchanting “tasty” colors to your drinks and cakes.
Even more, in addition to the unique flavor and beautiful decoration it offers, one of the most important reasons why people choose Chunky is its convenience.
With special processing methods, mixed fruit jam can still retain the original flavor of fruit for a long time. Besides, during its production, Chunky is also packed in convenient 1kg aluminum doypacks to make transportation easier than ever. With the great advantage of convenience, the appearance of Chunky makes it possible for everyone to enjoy the fresh, ripe taste of fruit simply anywhere.
