Homemade Jam in Tenerife
Fruity flavours and regional ingredients at breakfast at Jardin de la Paz
The aroma of freshly made jam, sun-ripened fruit and breakfast with views of the Atlantic… Sometimes, it is the little things that make a holiday truly special. At Jardin de la Paz, we start each morning with great attention to detail. One of the highlights of our breakfast buffet is something particularly special: our homemade jam.
We make our own jams and place great importance on the quality of the ingredients. Whenever possible, we choose locally sourced produce and make the most of the fruits available each season. We believe that quality ingredients, natural flavours and careful preparation make all the difference.
From Mango to Plum: Our Favourite Jam Varieties
Some flavours have become firm favourites. Mango, papaya and plum are our classic varieties, which guests can regularly enjoy at our breakfast buffet.
Tenerife is blessed with an extraordinary variety of tropical fruits. Ripe mangoes and aromatic papayas bring the sun-kissed flavours of the island to the breakfast table. Plum adds a fruity, well-balanced taste and a little extra variety to our selection.
Our homemade jams are much more than a sweet spread for your bread. They are a little moment of indulgence, adding something special to the morning and inviting you to start the day at a relaxed pace.
Seasonal Variety – New Flavours to Discover
Alongside our classic varieties, we love experimenting with new combinations and taking inspiration from the fruits that are in season or freshly available.
Our selection may include peach and apricot jam, for example. We also enjoy creating more unusual combinations: pineapple with fresh mint offers a fruity, refreshing twist, while persimmon surprises with its mild, sweet flavour. And for those who enjoy something particularly rich and aromatic, caramelised banana is a real treat.
Our varieties change depending on the season and the availability of fresh fruit. This keeps our breakfast selection varied and offers new little discoveries from time to time. Not every variety is available all year round – and that is precisely part of the charm of seasonal cooking.
Quality and Local Produce – Our Breakfast Philosophy
Our homemade jams are part of our commitment to carefully selecting high-quality ingredients and offering our guests an authentic culinary experience at Jardin de la Paz.
As with the rest of our breakfast selection, we pay particular attention to freshness, quality and local sourcing when choosing our fruit. We work with regional producers and, for example, source fruit and vegetables from Milagro Verde Organic Farm in La Orotava, where produce is grown according to the principles of permaculture.

A Sweet Start to Your Holiday
For us, breakfast is much more than the first meal of the day. It is a time to settle in, enjoy the moment and unwind. A slice of fresh bread with homemade mango jam, a good cup of coffee and views of the sea… Sometimes, that is all it takes to feel completely at ease on holiday.
With our homemade jams, we want to create exactly these little moments of pleasure: using carefully selected ingredients, seasonal inspiration and a genuine love of cooking.
That is how mornings taste at Jardin de la Paz – fruity, personal and made with love.
