What is banana jam M'AMOUR?
Banana jam M'AMOUR is part of the range prepared by the Lesueur family in Pointe-Noire, Guadeloupe, since the company was founded in 1958 and the M'AMOUR brand was launched in 1985. The label states 45 g of fruit per 100 g and a total sugar content of 60 g per 100 g. Its ingredient list is limited to banana, sugar, a gelling agent (fruit pectin) and an acidifier (citric acid). It is also known as “Caribbean banana jam”.
How to use it?
Spread it on fresh bread, rusks or a brioche at breakfast. It also tops crêpes, pancakes and waffles, or pairs with plain yoghurt. In the Caribbean, it is a classic filling for tourment d'amour, a traditional Guadeloupean puff pastry tart, and slips into a sandwich with peanut butter for a sweet snack.
