We are a family that really enjoys our jams ,whether it be on our favourite bread, an addition to our cheese & charcuterie boards, pastries, desserts and even in my sweet or savoury recipes. Recently, I have been experimenting by adding them in our cocktails and even Mocktails for our girls to enjoy as they add a slight sweet and flavourful boost.

Meet the Intense Cherry Jam Negroni with a Brûlée Nectarine.

The Negroni is a popular Italian Cocktail considered as an aperitif,  it’s quite simple, equal parts Campari, gin, and sweet vermouth and stirred built over ice.

I have partnered with one of my favourite jams Bonne Maman given this Italian classic a twist. Ok, for all my Italians out there, please forgive me but I promise you, this version of the traditional cocktail will definitely impress you. I have substituted the sweet vermouth with Bonne Maman’s new Intense Cherry flavour for a sweet fruity boost of flavour.

What I love about Bonne Maman’s new Intense line, it delivers more of the fruit and flavor we love, but with less sugar – 38% less sugar than regular preserves, to be exact. This is definitely a jam I feel good about giving to my family.

Bonne Maman’s success is attributed to its wide range of high-quality products and its unique know-how with High fruit content (50% min.), No colorings, no preservatives and no artificial flavours, made with the most perfect fruits for an intense flavor and rich in natural fruit sugars. A product I absolutely stand behind and highly recommend that you give them a try.

The new Cherry Intense flavour is currently available in select retailers and independent grocers in Quebec, and are expected to roll out in stores across Canada later this year, so keep an eye out for them as you will really enjoy them.

Here is my simple cocktail recipe for you to enjoy! Saluti!
