( 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 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 cheese.
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 fro 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.
