Hank's Jam

Hank's Jam

Hank's, Sydneys favourite gourmet jam, celebrates 21 years of business this year, after starting in a small kitchen near Bronte. Hank, a young chef, started making jams part time to earn some extra cash to support his love of surfing. Soon the demand and reputation of these beautifully crafted jams spread and cafes all over Sydney were demanding Hank's Jam. After making its mark on Sydney, Hank's continues to grow and will now be available in IGAs nationwide for all of Australia to enjoy.

With summer fast approaching there's no better way to celebrate the silly season than whipping out Hank's Jam to create some tasty home made treats. Hank's Jam is the perfect addition for any occasion with a range of products that include jams, chutneys, marmalades and condiments.

The legendary flavours and textures that set Hank's Jam from the rest is its unique 'slow reduction method" of cooking. This old traditional cooking method enhances the beautiful flavours and textures of the carefully selected fruits. The beautiful sun ripened fruits are slowly and carefully cooked for four hours until the flavour and texture are at their optimum. Then it is poured straight into the jar and delivered to stores – without adding preservatives, colours or additives along the way!

Each product is gourmet and hand-made, aimed at extracting the finest flavours possible from its ingredients. Although the ownership of Hank's Jam may have changed over the years, the quality and attention to detail has not.

'We use the highest percentage of fruits possible with all natural ingredients combined with a unique traditional slow reduction cooking method retaining the full flavours and textures that our Hanksters (Hanks lovers) have grown to love and enjoy," says Bernie Rorke, General Manager of Hank's Jam. Hank's products remain 100% natural and new flavours are being tasted and tested all the time.

From local jams to worldwide appeal in Dubai, Singapore, Beijing and the US, Hank's Jam has always focused on exceptional quality and service. Keeping the traditional handmade cooking method for the finest gourmet tastes, Hank's Jams is a tasty and healthy essential in every kitchen's pantry this summer!

The gourmet brand includes flavours that complement every tastebud and are pleasingly unique. From old favourites like Strawberry and Apricot to more exotic tastes of -Fig & Ginger' and -Pear & Vanilla', these jams are a must have to add a special twist to traditional well-loved summer recipes.

Tasty jam dishes to enjoy for summer are hard to find, but here are a few for those perfect balmy days. The Triple Berry Mini Pavlova is a fun and exciting dish, perfect for getting the whole family involved. Using Hank's Triple Berry jam, the rich blend of berries adds a perfect sweetness to the tangy and crunchy texture of meringue. Similarly, the Tropical No Bake Marmalade Cheesecake makes a great dessert on a summer's night with its zesty, tangy citrus flavours in a thick creamy cheesecake base.

But let's not forget condiments are also a popular snack hit in the summer. Hank's special Chilli Jam Pizza is a rich spread over a pizza base, topped with prosciutto, goats cheese and rocket which is perfect as a savoury meal any night of the week. Hank's Tomato Chutney is also a great substitute for ordinary tomato paste. Adding it to avocado, bacon and eggs gives a rich and robust texture to a traditional breakfast dish.
