Prickly Pear Jam – Traditional Maltese Bajtar Fruit Preserve

These cactus fruit is called “Bajtar” (/bytar/) in Maltese and is found in abundance growing on uncultivated land in Malta and Gozo. The cactus flower blossoms in spring and produces a green fruit, which by summer ripens to a rich orange, red colour with black pips inside. Our delicious conserve is made from 100% ripened cactus fruit pulp. The pips are removed, ground and used as a natural thickener. The cactus fruit is a high antioxidant capacity.

Enjoy the unique, sweet flavour of Maltese prickly pear fruit with this 425g jar of authentic prickly pear jam. Made using traditional methods, it’s perfect for spreading on toast, pairing with cheese, or adding a local twist to desserts. A true taste of Malta’s natural bounty.
