Preserves, Jellies, Jams, and Curds
A particularly fine jam on toast with tea is a simple pleasure that many of us could not do without. Fine fruit preserves add a special dimension to an afternoon tea or act as a particularly decadent topping to your favourite pastry or cheesecake. Fruit, transmuted into a divine creation.
Danish Selection Fruit Spreads 
Exclusive To Denninger’s
In 1834, the “Strawberry Cellar” was where people in Copenhagen came to buy freshly picked berries and enjoy a coffee or tea in the adjoining restaurant, along with jams made from the berries. Over time, the jams were sold as well at the business, and they became very popular. The “Danish Selection” brand grew out of these humble beginnings, and are still handcrafted with the same attention to detail and passion that their ancestors were. Using the method of slow open-kettle cooking, the ingredients keep their natural taste and the berries and fruit pieces are preserved in the tastiest way possible.
Denninger’s carries over thirteen of the Danish Selection flavours.
