“This festive jam get its slightly sour flavour from kombucha, one of my favourite cold bevs. It’s tasty enough to eat out of the jar, but I’d spread it on toast with a bit of cream cheese – it’s like cheesecake for breakfast. Inspired by a Jessica Bentley recipe (sliceofjess.com), mine uses seasonal strawbs and Woolworths’ punchy raspberry kombucha.” – Khanya Mzongwana
