## Description

Tiptree's signature preserve, a delicious dark crimson luxury jam made from the tiny, rare & intensely sweet Little Scarlet strawberry. The tiny berries are usually no larger than a 1p coin (up to 20mm). Wilkin & Sons are believed to be the only commercial growers of this fruit anywhere in the world today, making Little Scarlet Conserve utterly unique to Tiptree. It's also secret agent James Bond's favorite preserve.

Review: Very yummy - Very tasty! I love jams and jellies and this jam is very good.
Review: Strawberry jam restored to its glory - I love this jam. It's finally restored to what I remember from childhood. I don't know why there seems to be a concerted effort to ruin every wonderful food by corporations. I would think "market forces" would produce better things we'd pay for, not cheaper things that nevertheless go up in price. Dump the robber baron's solidified water and corn syrup with meh strawberries... and switch. Seriously, borrow money if necessary, but don't waste another dollar on the junk elsewhere. Jam is special and should be sweet. This jam is chunky and very sweet with an intense strawberry flavor and real sugar. It's not watered down one bit. I'm not sure if it has seeds, I'd have to go check. If so, I didn't notice it. I did have a problem with one shipment, but it wasn't the jars. Some other thing broke and there was broken glass all over my desertcart box. Nothing was broken, but I couldn't use it without danger of cutting myself. I'm surprised it was delivered that way. Probably a robot error, any human would've noticed it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What does "curd" mean?**
A: Have you ever had lemon meringue pie? The yellow lemon-flavored part of the pie is lemon curd. You can use the whole jar as a quick substitute for homemade when making a pie, or curd is good on muffins, scones, or toast as a sweet fruit spread.

**Q: Is this product gluten free?**
A: It's made like your grandmother might have made jam.  It's fruit, sugar & pectin... No glutens.  It's also extraordinarily delicious.

**Q: Is your product kosher?**
A: I'm not sure what kosher really is but the only thing that's in these preserves is Little Scarlet strawberries and they are delicious.

**Q: How do I return broken jar? I can't find a link to customer service?**
A: your asking this question of someone that purchased the item, contact amazon

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very yummy

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strawberry jam restored to its glory

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delicious preserves -- but beware or poor packaging and damaged product -- twice!
*by L***N on May 15, 2019*

This strawberry preserve is wonderful. I'd buy it again, in a heartbeat. Instead of being mostly "fillers", these preserves are chunky, like good preserves should be, with lots of chunks of strawberry. I also love that this product contains no high-fructose corn syrup or other nasty ingredients. For someone like me, who can no longer put up my own preserves, it's hard to settle for the preserves and jams found in grocery stores. This one tastes and looks closer to home made. Unfortunately, my first jar was not fully wrapped in two layers of bubble wrap. Part of the jar was only wrapped in one layer. Unfortunately, the lid under the single-layer of bubble wrapped took a hit, which broke the seal, and strawberry preserves leaked all over the rest of my order. It was a mess. Amazon sent a replacement jar right away, but the second jar arrived in the same condition, not fully wrapped and with the lid dented under the single-layer part of the wrapping, once again breaking the seal and causing yet another mess. Unfortunately, the "return this item" page did not allow me to inform Amazon of the problem, so they could fix the problem in their packaging department. I doubt if Amazon staff reads customer reviews, but I know of no other way to let them know of the problem! If you're looking for a nice quality, high-end strawberry preserve, I'd recommend this product. However, it might be wise to order it as a single item, so the leaked jam won't leak all over the rest of your order. It was a sticky mess! Thankfully, enough remained in the jar(s) that I can enjoy what didn't leak out. Delicious!
