- Quince: The inspiration for our cutting preserves line, this little gem has been described as ‘crack’ for cheese. Made by hand over several days, this single-varietal ‘membrillo’ style preserve exemplifies the old tradition of steeping quince. A labor of love --after a long, slow, cook, these hard, yellow, astringent & ancient fruits transform into a sweet with the likeness of honey but the complexity of tropical fruits. Our Quince Cutting Preserve is like a classic membrillo, but a tad softer for easy spreading, it’s excellent with Manchego, Beecher’s Flagship, Cheddar, & Parmigiano Reggiano. Don’t forget the Serrano ham…salud!
Ingredients: organic quinces, organic cane sugar, organic lemon juice. - Pink Bartlett: Crafted with pears from several original turn-of-the-century Orcas Island orchards, and gently spiced with a pinch of pink peppercorn, this simple, highly concentrated pear paste is beautiful with blue cheese, cheddars and goat cheese. The subtle spice equally complements jamon Serrano, prosciutto, and salami. Founder Audra has a habit of dolloping it on dark chocolate- sometimes with cheese too!
