Crabapple Jelly — Butterball

from €7.00

A clear, bright crabapple jelly with a clean citrus-sweet finish.

At Fat Tomato, we grow several varieties of crabapple in the garden, each bringing something different to the season. Butterball is a golden-orange variety, flushed with pink, known for its natural acidity and gentle citrus sweetness — ideal for making beautifully balanced jellies.

The fruit is gently simmered and strained to produce a clear, jewel-toned juice, naturally high in pectin and full of bright, tangy flavour. With only organic Colombian unrefined raw cane sugar and Verna lemons to balance it, this jelly lets the fruit's pure character shine.

We make all our jellies in traditional copper pans, preserving clarity, colour, and depth of flavour. The result is a perfectly set jelly with a slight wobble — just as we like it — clean, vibrant, and quietly elegant.

Serve with roast pork, pâté, or cold meats, or pair with Irish farmhouse cheeses — especially sharp cheddar like Hergarty’s or Coolattin or soft goat’s cheese like St. Tola. It’s equally good spread on warm buttered toast or used in baking.

Available as a 108g hexagonal jar for everyday use, or as a 165g WECK jar presented in our Gift Box, wrapped in our illustrated paper — inspired by the Wexford and Irish food story — and finished in our signature black box.
