( Discovery ) Aromatic preserves
As the summer approaches with blooming roses and ripening fruits,
their powerful fragrance hangs in the air — and locked in a jar
of Harvest Song preserves. These flavor-packed, potent concoctions
range from Tea-Rose Petal to the award-winning preserves. Harvest
Song’s products are made in the valley of Mount Ararat in Armenia
and imported by a New York-based company that bills the ingredients
as only "sun, seed and soil."
Food and Wine staffers tried the Tea-Rose Petal variety with a creamy
blue cheese; one staff member liked them best "slathered on toast."
The apricot preserves were deemed "not too sweet, with a rich texture,"
and pair nicely with spicy, salty charcuterie and sharp-flavored
cheeses.
And for a sweet breakfast alternative, the apricot preserves taste
quite nice mixed with a tart Greek-style yogurt such as Fage.
Harvest Song Artisanal Preserves are $5.99 for a 10-ounce jar at
Bi-Rite Market (3639 18th St., S.F.), and $7.49 for an 18.9-ounce
jar at Cheese Plus (2001 Polk St.; S.F.) and Sur La Table, various
locations.
