Strawberry jam, everyone loves it. Well, let’s add some flavours  and booze with this strawberry jam with sage and red wine. Come on, what could be better than adding wine to strawberries and getting away with having it on your toast in the morning!

What’s to love about this recipe

  • This jam really is something different and a wee bit special flavour wise, it’s rich and intense and sweet/savoury all at once.
  • This is a super easy strawberry jam to make.
  • Perfect for your toast in the morning, with scones and just as good with a cheeseboard too.

Forget your usual jam, this really is one for grown-ups! This is not your sickly sweet confection that the kids would splatter all over sandwiches and toast. Oh no, this impressive jam mixes sweet with savoury and just a touch of boozy fun. The perfect preserve really!

While I love jam and strawberry jam in particular when we have loads of those gorgeous berries in the garden in the summer, I do get tired of plain old strawberry jam.

That’s why I have made a few different varieties of strawberry jam over the years on this blog; Italian Inspired Strawberry Jam , Strawberry Gin Jam, Strawberry And Tomato Jam, Strawberry And Elderflower Jam, and Strawberry And Chilli Vodka Jam

Ingredients for this strawberry jam

Well there are only 5 ingredients here. Strawberries, some chopped up fresh sage leaves (they must be fresh sage leaves not dried), the juice and zest of a lemon, red wine (it would be rude not to!) and sugar.

How do you make this jam?

Even the real novice jam maker will have no difficulties with this simple recipe. You are just boiling things up and waiting for that magical setting point. That’s when the jam is ready to ladle into sterilised jars.

How long will this jam keep?

Stored in a sealed jar in a dark cupboard your jam will keep for up to a year. Once opened store in the fridge and use within a month.

How to serve this strawberry jam with sage and red wine

While you can have this on your toast for a decadent breakfast treat it goes well on a cheeseboard and is good gently warmed with a little more wine added to loosen it up and spooned over the very finest vanilla ice-cream for the perfect dessert.

    Just made this jam and had the scrapings of the pot on new bred and butter. It was delicious. I added a couple of sage leaves extra to the recipe and you could get the hint of flavour.
    I love the deep colour of this jam

    If you read my blog you will see I am not in the USA so your rules do not apply as my recipes are directed at my home country readers and if others wish to follow them I am thrilled but I do not have to adhere to the processing standards of another country.. Glad you like the sound of the recipe though.
