Christine Ferber’s jams, original and tasty
Alsace is renowned for its delicious jams, and among the must-tries, those by Christine Ferber hold a special place. Christine Ferber, the fourth generation of bakers-pastry chefs, has created more than 1,400 varieties of jams and masters this art to perfection. In her charming shop in Niedermorschwihr, you will find an incredible array of flavors: charlotte strawberries, Westhoffen cherries, Alsatian rhubarb with honey and acacia flowers, quince jelly with rose petals… Each of these jams is a true sweet masterpiece, prepared with quality fruits and without any additives. Each jar of jam poetically tells the story of the Alsatian terroirs from which it originates.
The jams of Climont, authentic and playful
In the heart of the Bruche Valley lies the famous family business “Les Confitures du Climont.” Founded by Fabrice Krencker, it is known for its jams with well-kept secrets. Pear with ginger, mirabelle with cinnamon, currant, sour cherry, or plum with walnuts, the flavors are varied and surprising. You can discover the art of making these jams by visiting their musĂ©obus, a mobile museum that immerses you in the world of Alsatian jam makers. Once in the production workshop, you can learn more about the centuries-old know-how of jam makers and taste intoxicating flavors. The jams from Climont are renowned for their delicacy and soft texture, thanks to a unique production technique in France.
Nicole’s jams, family-run and artisanal
In the small family business of Nicole and Sophie, the work with fruit is a true passion passed down from generation to generation. Located in the heart of the wine village of Châtenois, their lab is where delicious artisanal jams are born. Mirabelle with Gewurztraminer, Kirsch jam, or clementine jam, each jar is crafted with love and diligence. The maceration of the fruits in sugar for 12 long hours gives these jams an intense and natural flavor. Made at home and entirely artisanal, these jams are a true delight to taste.

Passionate about Alsace and the fruits of his region, he creates delicious jams with subtle and bold combinations. Mirabelle-ginger, apricot-lavender, or strawberry-mint, each jam is a true taste experience. With finesse and delicacy, Mathieu manages to elevate the natural flavors of the fruits to offer you exceptional jams. So don’t hesitate to enjoy these sweet delights by the spoonful and let yourself be carried away by a whirlwind of enchanting flavors.
