On the Scene

The Eastern Marketplace
Spurred by wonderful memories of fresh jam simmering in the kitchen of her childhood home in Armenia, Sylvia Tirakian founded Harvest Song.  Her New York-based specialty-foods company, which she create with exotic-carpet importer James Tufenkian, makes preserves with fresh, natural Armenian produce.  (In Armenia, the fruit is picked by hand, prepared in small batches, and immediately preserved in vacuum-sealed glass containers to retain the taste and nutrients.) Flavors include Tea-Rose Petal, Apple and Pear, Golden Fig, and Baby Walnut, and they’re delicious paired with breads or cheeses (an absolute must-try is Apricot with Parmigiano-Reggiano). Harvest Song preserves sell for $7 to $10 at several New York City and New Jersey retailers, including Westside Market, Chelsea Market, and Maywood Market.  (516.773.7356; harvestsongventures.com)

Customers' Testimonials

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.

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.

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