Pear Balsamic Spoon Preserves
Our top selling jam - the most likely answer when Audra inevitably is asked (impossibly) "what's your favorite?" Crafted with Bartlett pears from heirloom orchards and reduced down with organic aged balsamic vinegar into a balanced and nuanced pear jam. Founder Audra began making this preserve after discovering her neighbor's 120-year-old Bartlett orchard and their gracious offer to lend the pears in exchange for jam.
This jam is always a star on a cheeseboard or grazing board with Taleggio, asiago and blues. Truly an all-purpose condiment. Try it over ice cream. A national ice cream brand once tried to reproduce this jam for a mascarpone base; commercial ingredients couldn't do it.Ā
Or play around and add a few glugs of balsamic to a teaspoonful, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and minced shallots and puree it together for a quick, rich vinaigrette for a salad (topped with blue cheese, fresh pear slices, and crispy shallots). Spoon it over a wedge of Rogue River Blue with wafer thin crackers or fresh pear slices for an intensely satisfying cheese pairing.
Ingredients: Bartlett pears, organic fair trade cane sugar, organic aged balsamic vinegar, organic lemon juice
No pectin - just fruit, sugar, time and evaporation.
Still handmade in just six copper pots on Orcas Island; 7.75oz
