Jams, honey & sugar

Jams, honey, spreads and sugar go with the bread and the cereal, and keep for a very long time without refrigeration once the jar is closed — provided it is closed properly, since heat and humidity work fast in the tropics.

Individual portions genuinely earn their place on board: no half-open jar rolling around, no lid escaping at the first heel, and everyone picks their own flavour. Family jars remain more economical for larger crews and longer cruises.

Order sugar — cubes, granulated or sticks — at the same time as the coffee and tea: it is the classic omission on a provisioning list.
