Spiced Clementine Jam

Spiced Clementine Jam

A very simple yet flavoursome jam perfect for a winter cheeseboard. Here we have paired it with the creamy Castello® Tropical Fruit and Almond Cream Cheese and crackers, but it would also pair well with the bitey Castello® Black Pepper Cream Cheese.

5. Carefully pour the jam into 2 sterilised jars and store in the fridge.

6. Serve with Castello® Tropical Fruit & Almond Cream Cheese and crackers!
