Hawkshead Relish Raspberry & Vanilla Jam 225g | Rich raspberry jam made with 50% raspberries and a subtle hint of vanilla, handmade in Cumbria

The BEST jam I have ever had the pleasure of tasting... but you don't get enough of it for the price😳 This jar (225g) is literally half the size of regular jars of jam, which are 454g, but cost half of what this does! I cannot, in good faith, justify that cost. In my excitement, I might have been too quick in my willingness to overlook the minuscule amount of jam in these jars. It was GONE in 3 days... 3!!!... The amount you get is akin to that of a tub of caviar, and the pricing is equally as absurd!😳 I'm so torn... While this jam is great. When put next to the cost, it creates a serious moral conflict. Vanilla and raspberry jam... sure, it's a great concoction... Perfect even... BUT... it's too bloody EXPENSIVE for how tiny the jar is. DILEMMA!... Hawkshead Relish REALLY do need to provide better value for money, cos this is far too expensive, at double the cost, for half of the normal amount; the fair price would be the same amount, at double the price, given that the flavour is far better than that of standard jam. This is just over-inflation. If I'm to keep on buying this, I'd have to only use it occasionally and use regular jam more often than I do this, because this is ABSURDLY expensive. It's crazy!😱

In the heart of the picturesque Lake District village of Hawkshead, nestled amidst rolling green hills and ancient stone cottages, there was a pot of raspberry and vanilla jam that held a special place in the hearts of the locals. This jam, lovingly prepared by Mrs. Miggins, the village's renowned jam-maker, was no ordinary preserve. It was a source of pride and joy, a symbol of the village's rich culinary heritage. Mrs. Miggins, with her rosy cheeks and a twinkle in her eye, had perfected her jam-making craft over decades. Her jam kitchen, a cozy room filled with the fragrant scent of simmering fruit, was a hub of activity. Villagers often stopped by to chat and sample her culinary creations. But it was the raspberry and vanilla jam that stole the show. One sunny morning, as the golden rays of the sun danced through the lace curtains of Mrs. Miggins' kitchen, she prepared a fresh batch of this beloved jam. Ripe raspberries from her garden were carefully combined with fragrant vanilla beans, creating a symphony of flavors that was nothing short of divine. As the jam bubbled and thickened in the copper pot, it seemed to come alive with a mischievous spirit. It whispered secrets of love stories that had blossomed over morning toast and secrets exchanged over tea. It knew of picnics by the nearby tarn, where generations of families had spread it generously on buttery scones. But this pot of raspberry and vanilla jam had a destiny beyond just tantalizing taste buds. It was selected to represent Hawkshead in the annual Lake District Food Festival. People from far and wide flocked to taste its sweet perfection. Visitors marveled at the charming village and the jam that seemed to capture the very essence of this idyllic place. In the end, it wasn't just the jam that enchanted the festival-goers; it was the spirit of Hawkshead itself—the warmth, the community, and the enduring tradition that Mrs. Miggins' jam embodied. The pot of raspberry and vanilla jam became a symbol of the village's unwavering spirit and the timeless connection between its people and the land. And so, whether it was spread on a freshly baked scone in the heart of Hawkshead or sampled by curious travelers from afar, that pot of jam told a story of a village in the Lake District of England, where the sweetest memories were preserved in jars of raspberry and vanilla delight.

This is so yummy and tasty you can really taste the vanilla which I love but my only criticism and I did not give 5 stars is it is VERY VERY runny and not that great on toast it slides off. It’s sauce like and I like soft set jams slot but this is a tad too soft and more like cooked raspberry with vanilla compote for porridge. So be mindful of this when you buy this. A bit of a shame given that the bbq sauce is epic. Hope they will read this and improve the consistency. But otherwise it’s a yum flavour.

Bought 2 jars of this for my husband as he loves jam, all I can say it WOW if you like vanilla you will love this!!!! We could not believe how lovely this jam was, the strawberry and vanilla are just perfect!! I would very highly recommend treating yourself to this jam you will not be dissappointed. Well done to the buyer for a great product and great delivery, will definitely use you again, please don't quit selling this 🙏 👍

Perfect taste, quality, level of sweetness, the vanilla flavour doesn’t overpower the raspberry flavour, used on a Victoria sandwich cake and Had lots of queries as to what jam was used as others found it delicious too.

This is hands down just the best jam you can buy. We always bought Tiptree....not now. The vanilla is genius , bread and jam feels as if you are eating a big slice of Victoria sponge .

Lovely texture, really nice Raspberry taste.. like homemade but not too sweet.. however I cannot taste any Vanilla at all which is one of the reasons I bought it.. the combo sounded really yummy but all I can taste is mild raspberry. Bit expensive for the size you get but would make a nice gift for someone who likes Raspberry jam. The packaging was Ok and I advise you keep it in the fridge after opening the seal.

Raspberry jam is my favourite and this tastes lovely 😋. A bit expensive but worth every penny.
