Andresy Jams : A Taste of France
For over 50 years, Andresy has been creating finely crafted old-fashioned French jams from the highest quality fruits, producing small batches in copper cauldrons to bring out the natural flavor of the preserved fruit slowly in hot cane sugar. Our shipment of these delicious confitures arrived recently and we awakened our tastebuds with all six flavors. The Blackberry Jam is delightfully thick with a rich, complex flavor, my favorite type of jam for bar cookies. The traditional Red Currant & Raspberry Jam is a sublime blend of currant juice, extracted from tiny red berry fruits, together with the sweet juice of summer's red raspberries. Sweet, golden Mirabelle Plums harvested from the French region of Lorraine made a superb preserve. For sour cherry lovers, I wholeheartedly recommend the extra fruity Morello Cherry Jam. Warm up some buttered biscuits and enjoy the hallmark flavor of dark Morello cherries picked at their peak. Sweet, ripe peaches from the peak of the summer harvest are highlighted in Andresy's Peach with Vanilla Jam. Serve slightly warmed over your favorite vanilla bean ice cream for an end-of-summer dessert. While all of the Andresy preserves are outstanding, the Wild Strawberry Jam is spectacular. The white strawberry flower of the wild strawberry is often the first sign of spring. The berries are much smaller than commercial strawberries, but oh-so-much sweeter. Andresy Les Confitures a l'Ancienne are simply awesome. Don't be afraid to dip your spoon!
