Review: Moshe's Apple Honey & Cinnamon Jam

By Unknown | 2:31 PM 2 comments


On an impromptu trip to FoodHall, I spotted his little jar. Apples, Honey, Cinnamon: Three of my favourite ingredients put together to make a jam. What could ever go wrong? Consistency of the jam, unlike most gelatin filled jams in the market, is soft, which I liked. Super excited, I slathered it generously on my multi-grain oats bread and took my first bite.

It did nothing for me. Second bite. Again...nothing. I couldn't taste/smell cinnamon...which was a big disappointment considering there is a piece of bark in the jar. As for apples, there's no denying that's there but what's that tangy flavour I keep getting?

Lime juice. It's a bit overpowering. I am big fan of lime but not when I'm promised cinnamon. Now that I have already bought the bottle, I need to finish it. Turns out it tastes slightly better when it is refrigerated and used. 

FACT CHART
Price: Rs 105
Weight: 250gm
Ingredients: Apples, honey, cinnamon, sulphurless sugar, pectin, lime juice


Verdict: Maybe I set my expectations too high considering it's Moshe's and cinnamon. But if you say cinnamon on the bottle, a bark in the jar isn't enough. I want more flavour and less lime. Or maybe, simply rename it to apples, honey and lime for accuracy.
