Notes by Sommelier Louis-Jacques Bleu, Sommelier at Les Cavistes—Wine Spectator Award winner since 2014

A subtle aroma, reminiscent of the comforting scent of a small jar of baby food from our childhood.

On the palate, the spread has a very enticing texture. The plum's natural sugar really comes through without being too rich!

The plum aroma doesn't linger very long, giving way to the fruit's natural sweetness. Warning: The creamy texture of this spread is addictive—you might find yourself eating it straight from the spoon!

Jam Maker's Notes

I discovered the Reine-Claude plum while I was out picking Mirabelle plums. Its flavor captivated me, and I decided right then and there to make a spread out of it.

We pick them ourselves to select the plump, ripe fruits. We had 10 plum trees planted in an organic orchard so that we could one day make an organic version of this spread. In 2026, one of the 10 plum trees—the smallest one—produced a modest harvest.

This plum oxidizes very quickly. It must therefore be processed immediately; otherwise, the spread would turn the color of dark chocolate. We add lime juice to preserve its beautiful peridot color.

Accord suggéré : pain au raisins et aux noix ou fromage à pâte molle type camembert

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!
