The English and jam: My Dear... what pleasures!

Hot toast, a cup of tea and an open jar of jam: a few simple touches are all it takes to give breakfast a delicious English twist. Across the Channel, jams and marmalades are enjoyed both on quiet mornings and during indulgent afternoon breaks. We invite you to rediscover this tradition with two Parisian creations inspired by this world, available at Danielle REYNIER.

Marmalade, the perfect companion for toast

In British tradition, citrus marmalade naturally finds its place on a slice of buttered toast. Its charm lies in the contrast between sweetness, freshness and a slight bitterness, with pieces of peel that add texture to every bite.

Our Marmelade à l’Anglaise by Confiture Parisienne combines orange, lemon and grapefruit, infused with Earl Grey tea. Made in Paris and cooked in a copper cauldron, it contains 71% fruit. Try it on rustic bread, lightly toasted brioche or warm scones.

Tea time, an indulgent occasion

Afternoon tea developed in British society in the 19th century. This break between lunch and dinner turned tea time into a true moment of conviviality, accompanied by small treats.

Scones are small British cakes, generally round and thick, with a soft and slightly crumbly texture. Plain or filled with raisins, they are best enjoyed warm, cut in half, with jam and clotted cream, a thick and creamy cream. At home, there is no need to set a large table: a few scones, your favourite tea and a lovely jam are all you need to take the time to savour.

A meeting between Paris and London

For a change of pace, our Tartine Chocolat Caramel Biscuité by Confiture Parisienne explores another indulgent treat inspired by Britain. This is not a jam, but a chocolate spread combining cocoa, a salted Isigny butter caramel centre and pieces of Scottish shortbread.

On warm brioche or a crêpe, it adds a melt-in-the-mouth and crunchy touch. Two 250 g jars, two different characters, and the same invitation: turn a simple slice of bread into a little indulgent break.
