This trio of flavours is breathtaking! The lime takes up all the room you want to give it, which is why this spread is so generous with pears. And the basil adds a touch of refinement to the divine spread.

Louis-Jacques Bleau, Les Cavistes-WineSpectator Award Sommelier since 2014, describes this spread as follows:

Medium aromatic nose, carried on the aroma of slightly oxidized ripe pear and a subtle vegetal side.

In the mouth the attack is led by the aromatic power of lime and the sweetness of pear.

The basil aroma is rather discreet, but brings a unique dimension and creates a perfect balance between acidity and sweetness. The lime peel adds chewiness and a pleasant texture.

The jam is long in the mouth. The finish has citrus peel bitters and the liveliness of the lime that makes you want to spread more

Suggested pairing: zucchini cake.

In everyday language, yes! However, on our labels, Canadian law requires us to use the term “spread”.
In Canada, the term “jam” is strictly regulated: it requires a minimum sugar content of 66%. At Punch, we believe that a good product doesn’t need to be loaded with sugar. Our organic spreads contain up to 48% less sugar (like our mango-orange flavor) than traditional jams. That’s why we’re not legally allowed to call them that.
It’s a modern irony: while public health authorities are encouraging us to reduce our sugar intake—and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is now scrutinizing products that are too high in sugar—an old law dating back to the 19th century forces us to add sugar if we want to use the word “jam.” Back then, sugar was expensive, and this law protected consumers from fraud. Today, sugar is cheap and overused.
When you choose Punch Spreads, you’re choosing the true taste of fruit without compromising on sugar, through unique and bold recipes. Treat yourself to:

Less sugar, infinitely more fruit, and a richer taste experience!
