Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bonne Maman Fig Preserves contain allergens?
The recipe lists figs, sugar, cane sugar, concentrated lemon juice, and fruit pectin, with no nuts, dairy, gluten, or soy called out on the label. Recipes and facility notices can change between production runs, so anyone managing a food allergy should read the printed ingredient panel on the jar before eating to confirm current allergen information.
How should I store Bonne Maman Fig Preserves after opening?
Keep an unopened jar in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight. Once you break the seal, refrigerate the jar and use a clean, dry spoon each time you serve it, which helps the preserves stay fresh longer. Bonne Maman recommends finishing an opened jar within about 3 to 4 weeks for the best flavor and texture.
What is the difference between Bonne Maman Fig Preserves and a typical grocery-store fig jam?
Bonne Maman Fig Preserves are made with whole fig pieces, sugar, cane sugar, concentrated lemon juice, and fruit pectin, without artificial preservatives, colours, or flavours. Many mass-market fig jams lean on added thickeners or flavoring agents to stretch the fruit content, so this jar's short ingredient list stays notably more fruit-forward by comparison.
Is Bonne Maman Fig Preserves made in France?
Yes. Bonne Maman preserves are made in France using the brand's traditional recipe, then imported for sale in the United States and Canada. The jar keeps its signature red-and-white gingham lid, the same packaging used on preserves sold throughout Europe, so US and Canadian shoppers get the same import.
