Blackcurrant Rhubarb

A blackcurrant and rhubarb preserve that paired two tart Island favourites in one jar. The profile balanced dark berry depth with rhubarb brightness.

Prince Edward Island Preserve Company historically cooked this style in New Glasgow, PEI, where Adam and Marsha Doiron now run the family creamery. The fruit blend relied on regional growers for both components.

This SKU is discontinued on the brand shop, though jars may still appear at gift retailers. Refrigerate any opened jar promptly.
