This classic Quebec dessert highlights the contrast between textures and flavors. It has a garnet color and is topped with whole pieces of olive-green rhubarb.

The tartness of the rhubarb comes through immediately on the nose. It’s clear right from the start that this product is meant for true rhubarb lovers.

The woody notes of rhubarb dominate the flavor profile. Biting into a piece of candied rhubarb brings back memories of Grandma’s pie. This is a modern take on that classic, with the sweetness tempered by a splash of lemon juice.

Serving suggestion: brioche or toasted baguette croutons.

Jam Maker's Notes

The inspiration for this recipe came from a customer, Éloïse Boily-Thibeault, who had preserved the memory of her grandmother Colette’s rhubarb jam recipe. She would simmer the rhubarb without stirring it during cooking to keep the pieces whole and make the texture even more addictive. That was the spark I needed to create a product that stands out from the sour, mushy jams often found on store shelves. The rhubarb is candied one day and combined with strawberries the next. During that time, the rhubarb releases its juices and soaks up the sugar, becoming tender yet intact—much like al dente pasta. We believe this extra step is well worth the effort. 🙂

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:
  • Raspberry and Blood Orange – proud winner of a prestigious Great Taste Award in 2026!
  • Lime, pear and basil
  • Strawberry and passion fruit
  • Wild blueberries and pomegranate
Less sugar, infinitely more fruit, and a richer taste experience!
