Crabapple Rosemary Jelly

from €7.50

A bright, herb-led crabapple jelly with gentle citrus and savoury depth.

At Fat Tomato, we grow a couple of varieties of crabapple in the garden, each bringing its own character to the season. For this jelly, we use our Butterball crabapples — a golden-orange variety known for its clean acidity and naturally citrus-sweet finish — ideal for pairing with savoury dishes.

The fruit is gently simmered and strained to produce a clear, jewel-toned juice, naturally high in pectin and full of bright, tangy flavour. Fresh rosemary is added during cooking, bringing a soft, aromatic warmth that lifts and balances the fruit.

We make all our jellies in traditional copper pans, which allow for precise temperature control and preserve clarity, colour, and depth of flavour. Organic Colombian unrefined raw cane sugar and Verna lemons — sourced through the CrowdFarming platform — bring balance, brightness, and a clean finish.

Each jar is finished with a sprig of fresh rosemary, allowing the flavour to infuse and deepen over time gently. The result is a beautifully set jelly with a slight wobble — just as we like it — bright, fragrant, and quietly savoury.

Serve with roast pork, lamb, or chicken, alongside pâté or charcuterie, or pair with Irish farmhouse cheeses — especially soft goat’s cheese like St. Tola or aged cheddar from Hegarty’s or Coolattin. It also works well as a glaze or stirred into marinades.

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.

  • Serve with roast pork, lamb, or chicken, where the rosemary brings a gentle savoury warmth, and the crabapple cuts cleanly through richness. It’s equally at home alongside pâté, terrines, or charcuterie, adding brightness and a subtle herbal lift.

    Pair with cheeses, particularly soft goat’s cheese like St. Tola or aged cheddar like Coolattin, where the balance of fruit and rosemary creates a more savoury, structured finish.

    In the kitchen, use as a glaze for roasted meats or vegetables, or whisk into pan juices and marinades for a light, aromatic depth.

    For something simple, spoon onto warm toast or fold into a sandwich with roast meat and sharp cheese.
