Nostradamus Codignat Extra Jam (Quince) - 50g

Our jams are made in Alsace, with fruit and sugar only, without gelling agents or preservatives. The second generation perpetuates the tradition of a simple and authentic jam, cooked in century-old copper cauldrons, using a unique computer-assisted process, which adjusts the amount of sugar added according to the sugar already present in the fruit. This unique know-how has enabled Confitures du Climont to obtain from the French State the label "Living heritage company, the excellence of French know-how". The quince tree gives large yellow pear-shaped fruits to the downy skin, whose very hard flesh is inedible raw; it is therefore made into jelly or jam. Michel de Nostredame, known as Nostradamus, is best known for his predictions. The great doctor Nostradamus also turns out to be a dietitian. Following one of the precepts of Hippocrates, "From your food you will make your medicine", he explains to the people of the time, how to eat better, to be better. In 1555, he wrote the “Traité des Fardements”, from which is extracted “Manières de faire tous james”. From this book, we have extracted the recipe for Codignat, quince jam whose flesh “passed” through a filter, is cooked in sugar. Tasting tips: As a garnish for baked apples
