Fantastic tasting organic fruits spreads

Nicolas Desaulniers-Soucy has a doctorate in physics and worked in high-tech manufacturing for most of his life but always had a keen taste for unique flavours.  In his spare time, he could often be found in the kitchen experimenting with various sour dough bread recipes.  It was during a visit to the U.S.A that he came across a sour cherry jam that tasted so delicious, he felt compelled to attempt a re-creation of it using local Quebec sour cherries.  During this process, as part of perfecting his recipe, he even sought out a specific pectin from California which gives the spread its melt in the mouth texture.

Punch Tartinades was born out of a desire to celebrate the tartness of fruit WITHOUT the sticky sweet sugar found in most other jams. The sugar content is reduced by up to 40% compared with traditional jam, as indicated on the product label, which is why it is uniquely referred to as a “spread.”  What began as a passionate challenge has now turned into an exciting business going into its 2nd year!
