Bonne Maman launched a rhubarb variety of its French-imported jam in a special event for families in Sydney today.

Meaning 'good mother' in French, Bonne Maman is known for storing its preserves in traditional facetted jars, and they have no artificial colours, additives or preservatives.

Guests at the event in The Grounds of Alexandria received a food styling masterclass by photographer and cookbook author Katie Quinn Davies, and a three-course breakfast featuring the rhubarb jam.

Available in time for Mother's Day, the recommended retail price for the 370g Rhubarb Conserve is $5.
