Harvest Song Signature Series Cocktail Collection^®

Over a year ago I had read the book THE KITE RUNNER. In the book, the young boy has fresh pita bread with sour cherry jam for breakfast every morning. The way the jam was described in the book was nothing that I had ever tasted in the United States. After reading the book, I would often search the jam sections of stores in New York City - but nothing seemed 'right'. I even bought a few sour cherry jams, and was always disappointed. I was desperate to find this jam!

One day I found my way into a store in Manhattan, and I saw the sour cherry jam from Harvest Song. When I picked up the jar, and saw the way the jam 'moved' in the jar, I became very excited. I recall that in the book the sour cherry jam the boy ate was very 'spreadable'. Which implied to me that the jam was very fresh, and had less holding it together than the jams I've had. I then noticed on the Harvest Song label that the jam has no pectin. I thought "this must be it!" The jam in the book must not only have been very fresh, but also had no pectin! The clincher was when I saw that Harvest Song was made in Armenia. THE KITE RUNNER takes place in a country in that part of the world, and it made sense that the preparation that Harvest Song uses to make its jam would be something similar, if not exact.

I brought home my 'find', toasted my 7 grain bread, put on a bit of almond butter, and then spread my Harvest Song sour cherry jam. I was in heaven! I knew I had found the perfect jam, and my long search was over.

Thank you, Harvest Song. You now have a life long customer.

55 years ago I was in  Cypress &  tasted the most wonderful sweet walnut treat.

I tried to describe it and unsuccessfuly tried to find the little old woman who gave it to me. I have experimented endlessly to no avail. In fact, most people thought I was dreaming or exaggerating.

And then there was the little item about you in the paper!

Thank you.

Your preserves are the best I have ever found for my family.

I love your product. I always give it as gifts and even posted your site on my face book page! I have a question, what song is that in the homepage? It's beautiful.

I have a jar of the walnuts on hand, a bottle of Makers Mark 46 and am ready to make the old fashioned cocktail this evening!  I am certain I will enjoy it. I also tracked down the Nux Alpina nocino and am eager to try the Black Glove. I think it will be devine!

I bought this product with trepidation because in the past I'd tried other fig preserves that were extremely disappointing - too much sugar, or bad figs, or somebody held their pinky the wrong way. Just bad.

I held my breath when I opened up the Harvest Song Gourmet jar and took a spoonful out to taste. Then the heavens opened! Choirs of Angels sang! Tiny bluebirds rested on my shoulders! Okay, not really, but this stuff was the real thing - it tastes *exactly* like Grandma's homemade. Exactly. That she made in her kitchen in New Orleans 40 years ago with figs that Grandpa grew in the backyard.

So if you are a fig lover, I highly recommend these preserves - they are to die for. If you've never tried figs or especially fig preserves, you don't know what you're missing!

I purchased the Apricot Preserves. We in fact just finished that jar! I then went back and purchased the Rose Petal Preserve which I served for dessert over chocolate pound cake with vanilla ice cream. That was divine. Your jams are great, please keep Jefferson Market stocked with them!

At the "Wine Spectator" VIP event they were blown away by Harvest Song Tea-Rose Petal preserve.

Your wonderful jam was a thank you gift given to me by a patient and I love it.

The apricot is so buttery, perfect on a biscuit. Really good stuff.

I came across your quince preserve from one of my local stores in East Kilbride, Scotland UK.

Just to let you know I think it is absolutely delicious. I plan on returning to the store tomorrow to purchase the other varities they have on offer.

Something to look forward to every morning - Peach Preserve

I loved your story and love your preserves especially the fig jam. Be well and keep spreading the love. A grateful customer.

New fave cheese companion: Harvest Song preserves. Tea rose and sour cherry are best flavors, the stinkier the cheese the better.

I got to use your Sour cherry at dinner, The ambassador and his wife loved it.

Love your Jam, Absolutely GREAT product, Best jam around!

Hi Sylvia,

Thank you so much for your wonderful and personal service! The jams arrived Tuesday--so perfectly packed, I hated to take them out of the box. Each individual jar is beautiful but when you can see them all together, they are amazing! I was really surprised since I had only seen the apricot and fig at the store. The two varieties looked great but the jars look even better when there are several different kinds. The rice paper colors are so rich and delicious looking. If only I had a store of my own...

Yesterday we opened the black currant and it was delicious! I surprised by how tangy and not too sweet it was. I can hardly wait to try all the others.

I watched your video after we spoke. It was fun to see what you look like--actually I wasn't surprised. I had pictured you pretty much like that from our phone conversation. I enjoyed the information and presentation. What a pretty wall you had behind you.

We'll definitely be in touch to order more jams. Once again, thank you.

Sincerely,

I purchased your Golden Fig Preserve today and we had some with a bit of Brie....I never would have noticed the product in our local PUBLIX in Ft. Lauderdale if it had not had the paper cover. Great marketing...great product

I love Tea Rose Preserves but have the hardest time finding it.

The preserves are so good.

I'm really impressed that the preserves dont contain pectin.

You can really taste the difference between other preserves brands and the Harvest Song one.

The Apricot & White Cherry Preserves is absolutely delicious!

Excellent! My grandmother made it for me before arriving from Syria 60 years ago! This is even better! Congratulations!

Zingerman's Z Club introduced my family to these delights. Now that we're moving into a house with a huge black walnut tree, I know what to do with my nuts! These are a must for any home - wonderful on pancakes.

These Preserves are so delicious and really have a clean, fresh taste. Overall the product is WINNER from the look of the package to how it smells and tastes.

The walnuts are something else, so special, just sweet enough & so unusual in my mouth!

I bought the sour cherry and it was divine mixed with cream cheese and spread on a bagel. Thank you so much for offering such a fantastic product! Thanks.

I found your jar in my boyfriend's fridge. He sure does have GREAT taste for jam. I LOVE your apricot. YUM!!!!!!!!

These walnuts are unbelievable!! Never had anything like them...very hard to find. Delicious paired with Gorgonzola

Just recently I purchased a jar of your Apricot Preserves. They are delicious. I at first wondered if they were too expensive for me, but decided after tasting them at the market, I couldn't resist. And I wasn't sorry. They are so good. We had company stay with us, and served the preserves and they were very impressed too.Thanks for such good products.

Found it at Kroger, tried it on a lark while looking to change my fig/cheese routine. They are fabulous preserves! I am addicted! It is also my favorite gift add-ons; who doesn't love a super quality preserve? Thank you for the lovely products!

I don't have a question. Just a comment. Your Sour Cherry perserves is AMAZING.

These preserves remind me of my childhood growing up in Greece.

I have tried your fabulous Apricot and Strawberry jams for the first time - a friend of mine who lives in NJ, who is a Regional Food and Beverage Director was so impressed by your product that he brought them all the way to LA telling me "I found the best jam in the world, better than the French ones (he's french), and it's from Armenia (as I'm an Armenian). I was so proud when I saw the packaging of your product, its phenomenal taste and immediately got online to order a case of your jams.

...Your reputation is incredible and growing by the minute - quite impressive. As perhaps I told you on the phone, our family has been in the flour business for many years. I am the third generation of the Uhlmanns to own and run Heckers and Ceresota flour.

Sylvia,

Thank you for the great preserves. Everyone really enjoyed it….

Especially my mom! Good luck in 2012

Found your walnuts in a small store in Philadelphia and they were amazing with cheese. Can't wait to serve them again.

Sylvia, You make gorgeous jams

Your preserves are absolutely marvelous! I came across your pear and apple in a random store here and I knew it was special so I brought it home and opened it to share with a guest staying with me from Slovenia. We were in heaven. I started a raw cacao global business and work with the earth, eating organic foods etc and I just ordered three more kinds of your preserves. Thank you for what you make. This is how we should create upon the earth. :)

How much I enjoy... Dear Harvest Song, I am now on my second jar of apricot preserve and I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your product! The quality is much higher than any other preserve I have tried here in America. Your packaging is beautiful too!You have clearly put a lot of thought and love into your venture. I found you at Whole Foods in Fort Collins Colorado. Wishing you continued success in this changing world.

The rose petal jam in particular is WONDERFUL!

Just wanted to tell you that these are exquisite preserves, we are loving them so much and will order more to give as Christmas gifts.

Fantastic. I ate the whole jar in four days! It was so delicious. I can't wait to buy more! And the tart, not too sweet, just soooo delicious, addictive ... thank you!

I met Sylvia at the Maywood Market which sells the preserves and I told her my favorite was the Apricot & White Cherry...I had used it to cook pork and chicken dishes...it was fabulous!!!!

I have just sent off the baby Walnut Preserves and the Tea Rose Petal Preserves to our Chef daughter in Australia. I could not wait because I know no one would appreciate them more than she! I'm saving the Strawberry and Apricot for special occasions for us.

I love your product!!

After enjoying Harvest Song fig preserve for sometime, I read about the woman who is behind Harvest Song. Wow, she is the Grande Dame of preserve making. Kudos to Sylvia and Armenia

I paired your apricot preserves with a remarkable cracker (34 degree crisp bread) and a wonderful soft brie (President). The combination was fabulous! Can't wait to serve this at my next gathering!

We Use Harvest Song Tea rose Preserve in our ganache to make exquisite tea-Rose Petal Truffle. The flavor is subtle and delicious. Our customers Love it!

These walnuts are unbelievable!! I've never had anything like it... very hard to find

To the dear folks at Harvest Song Ventures;

Thank you so much for your time and efforts on my behalf...Needless to say I am extremely fond of your products and have never tasted anything so heavenly. I have ordered from your company once before and was so impressed that I have not stopped talking about them to friends and family alike. I did manage to take one of the walnuts and slice it into 20 very tiny servings along with some of the liquid and hand it out to family and friends to sample. The rest I kept for my self. It was a glorious start to each day through the Christmas season.

Thank you again for introducing your products to the USA...what a God sent you all are.

Sincerely your devoted customer,
Sharron J. Stevenson

PS your products give this old lady much pleasure.

It was all natural and it contained almost all fruit.

I LOVE your jams! Thank you.

We just purchased a few different jams of your line. Being from Austria, where we have Darbo and Staud's, naturally I was a bit skeptic about your apricot jam. Ehm, what can I say. We are blown away. The flavor gave me instant flashbacks when my mother would make jams at home. We love it, love it, love it.

Your preserves are a big hit, we use the Rose Petal on the Foie Gras and the others with the cheese course.

Sylvia, I met you in Napa. Your rose petal jam is heaven on my yogurt.

I just opened the sour cherry preserves last night. I served it with sautéed foie gras - really terrific combo, everyone loved it. I highly recommend the pairing.

I am sitting here in my office in Palm Beach Florida eating some fresh baked muesli bread and Harvest Song Apricot Preserve with a touch of diet cream cheese and I'm in heaven! At first I thought there would be a lot of sugar in it---but then I looked and there is a small amount---I wish you could make some with splenda so I could eat the whole jar and not feel guilty! It tastes like you use the ripest fruit that just melts with flavor when you cook it! I purchased it at Market Salamander in Palm Beach and have been telling everyone about it. I almost want to make a stick it note praising its flavor and attach it to the jar the next time I go in there so that everyone will try it...I cant wait to try the flavors. Thank you for making such a great product and I am sure your countrymen in Armenia will be kept employed for a long time with these great products. From one sales person to another...I will tell all the Pam Beachers what they are missing!

The jam had a clean taste. You can taste the difference of the jam from other jams.
