Made this with the glut of blackcurrants from the garden. Delicious with overnight oats, chopped pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup. Yummy

Wondering why the compote lasts 3 weeks and the jam lasts 3 months... is it the sugar content??

Hi, Yes exactly that, you need lots of sugar for it to work as a preservative. Lulu
