Blackberry Peach Fruit Spread

Juicy Peaches and Ripe Blackberries from the Bergisches Land

Königskind Blackberry-Peach Fruit Spread is the summery crown for your breakfast bread – handmade by Uwe König from sun-ripened peaches and dark blackberries, in equal, generous proportions and with a fruit content of 80 percent. The honest fruit spread from the Bergisches Land, without additives and cooked by hand in the local kitchen.

The Königskind Blackberry-Peach fruit spread is a delicious spread made from two equally proportioned summer fruits, from the Bergisches Land between Gummersbach and Nümbrecht. With 40 percent juicy peaches and 40 percent ripe blackberries, a little sugar, a squeeze of lemon juice, and natural pectin, only 5 honest ingredients go into the jar – without artificial flavors, colorings, preservatives, or flavor enhancers. Uwe König and his team manually cook the spread from regional, untreated fruits.

Velvety-fruity, sweet and sour with a full berry scent

Once opened, the summery scent of freshly picked berries and sun-ripened peaches rises – sweet, velvety, with a hint of tart blackberry acidity that gives the whole thing an adult depth. The color is a deep, warm dark red with visible fruit pieces, reminiscent of an early summer kitchen evening. The consistency is pleasantly spreadable, with small blackberry seeds that provide a fine texture.

On the tongue, the spread begins with the soft sweetness of peach, then comes the berry-tart blackberry with its slight acidity, and finally, a hint of lemon rounds everything off – sweet, berry, and with refreshing acidity in the aftertaste. In contrast to many industrial jams with often only 30 percent fruit, this fruit spread brings 80 percent pure fruit into the jar. You can taste it clearly: less sweet and sticky, more fruit.

We like it on warm brioche and for Sunday breakfast

The Blackberry-Peach fruit spread is the summery crown for your breakfast bread. We particularly like it classic on a warm slice of brioche with some butter underneath, on a freshly baked croissant, or on a crusty farmhouse bread. The combination of peach and blackberry is a classic you never tire of – sweet, fruity, with depth.

We also recommend it in porridge: a generous spoon into the warm oatmeal bowl, a few fresh berries added, and your summer breakfast is ready even on dreary days. It goes just as well with natural yogurt and quark with honey and almonds, and as a filling for a homemade sponge roll or for pancakes with powdered sugar, it's a delight. If you enjoy baking, use it as a topping on a cheesecake or as a middle layer in a fruit tart.

Our tip for mild summer evenings: briefly boil the fruit spread with a little white wine and a pinch of thyme to create an elegant fruit sauce mirror for roasted duck breast or wild poultry. You can find more delicacies from the Königskind kitchen with the fruity "beschwipste Pflaume" (tipsy plum) fruit spread, the summery red vineyard peach fruit spread and the spicy mango chutney for dinner.

Uwe König and his kitchen under the Ziegenbusch in Wiehl

The Königskind gourmet manufactory is Uwe König's passion project. What began as a hobby in his home kitchen in 2005, he expanded into self-employment in 2014 due to the growing demand for his spreads and chutneys. To this day, all Königskind products are cooked in the kitchen under the Ziegenbusch in Wiehl in the Bergisches Land – all by hand, in manageable quantities, with the support of his wife Sabine.

For his Blackberry-Peach, Uwe König uses exclusively regional, untreated fruits and consistently avoids artificial flavors, colorings, preservatives, and flavor enhancers. This is the Königskind philosophy: few, honest ingredients that still taste of the fruit and the season in which they were picked. In addition to the Blackberry-Peach, we also carry other fruit spreads, chutneys, and mustard specialties from the same kitchen – all products of the same signature style.
