Apricot & Verjuice Jam
Jammy, honeyed-sweet Apricots are paired with Verjuice, a highly acidic, non-alcoholic ingredient made from the juice of pressed unripe grapes. London Borough of Jam adds it to their Apricot jam to provide a gentle acidity, offering a more sophisticated substitute for lemon juice. It’s not a dominant flavor, but one that balances the sweetness. Luscious when dolloped on a gooey piece of Brie de Meaux.
- Ingredients: Apricots, unrefined cane sugar, verjuice (grape juice) & lemon juice.

Lillie O’Brien established London Borough of Jam in 2011, following five years as pastry chef at St John Bread & Wine in London, United Kingdom. LBJ preserves are made in small batches and cooked for a shorter time compared to generic brands. The flavor is honest and unadulterated; it is fruit-driven, rather than sugar-driven. When tasting LBJ preserves you will always taste the fruit first followed by the sugar and a special complimentary flavor. They use natural, unrefined sugars and no commercial pectins. LBJ preserves contain no more than 4 ingredients and are dairy free & vegan.
The preserves combine seasonal fruits – sourced in the UK, France, Italy and Spain – such as Victoria Plums, Greengages, Raspberries, Rhubarb and Seville Oranges with unusual additions such as bay leaf, cardamom, cocoa nibs, lemon verbena, wild fennel pollen and verjuice which we believe enhance the fruit flavours and maintain natural, respectful combinations.
