( 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.

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.
