The Queen of Confitures


I used to make my own confitures, as they are so prettily called in French - much nicer than jam, don't you think? But not anymore! Now, whenever my OH who's the one who eats all the confiture in this house is running low we go and pay a call to Nadira, the "Queen of Confiture". Although I keep pestering her, Nadira does not yet have a website to order from. So if you want to taste her divine creations keep an open eye when visiting markets in and around Montpellier. Tomorrow she is still to be found at the Christmas Market in Palavas les Flots, next weekend at the Christmas Market in Lattes (11th and 12th of December) and from December 17th to December 19th in La Grande Motte. Believe me - once you've tasted Nadira's pure fig, red fruits, kumquats and ginger or melon and star anise confiture - nothing else will do!

  4. I will definitely look for her confitures next time we are over visiting our cousins who live outside Montpellier. I love confitures for petit dejeuner.
