Jam, we love it on toast… but why stop there? At Ilanga Nature, every pot is filled with artisanal know-how and authentic fruity flavor. Hand-prepared, without preservatives or colorants, their jams showcase the best of Malagasy fruits. And what if you gave them a new place in your kitchen?
Here are 5 simple and gourmet ways to rediscover this everyday treasure:
1. Sublime a yogurt or a white cheese
Turn a simple yogurt into a home-made dessert!
Add a spoonful of mango jam, rose hips or guava into a natural yogurt or white cheese.
Result: a fruity sweetness, with no artificial flavors, much healthier than an industrial dessert.
Tip + : Add granola, chia seeds or some sliced almonds for a crunchy effect.
2. Dare the savory tartine
Jam has its place in savory recipes.
Try a full bread topped with fresh cheese, enhanced with a touch of ginger or lemon jam.
The sweet and salty agreement creates a subtle balance, ideal for a brunch or a quick lunch.
Tip +: A pinch of black pepper or a few fresh herbs will elevate the dish with elegance.
3. Rethink Your Desserts
Forget industrial creams: jam is perfect for topping your cakes.
Tart, roll, muffins or genoise… add a layer of strawberry, fig or guava jam for extra flavor.
It brings both flavor, a melting texture, and a beautiful natural coloring.
Tip +: For an extra boost, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of fresh fruit juice.
4. Flavor your drinks
You can also drink jam!
A spoon dissolved in a hot infusion, sparkling water, or iced tea is enough to create a fruity and natural drink.
Try the lemon or ginger jam for a refreshing and tonic effect.
Tip + : For summer, blend it with ice cubes, a slice of green lemon, and fresh mint for a healthy and quick mocktail.
5. Accompany a cheese platter
The cheese-jam alliance is no longer to be proven... but have you tried the Malagasy pairings?
Fig jam or lemon sublime a hard cheese, while that with pink berries creates the surprise with a fresh cheese.
A small pot is enough to transform your appetizer platter.
Tip +: Serve with dried fruits, nuts, and lightly toasted rustic bread.
