Shiro Plum w/ Mint Spoon Preserves
A Sunset Pantry Award Winner in 2021 and Good Food Awards Winner in 2016 & 2019
One of our very first fruit preserves, this surprising jam needs little introduction. When the lone farmette Shiro plum tree yielded 150lbs of plums that first season, Audra thought: "that's a lot of pies!" coming from a pie making tradition via her Polish grandfather, and promptly bought a copper pot and taught herself to preserve. A little magic, and lot of stirring later, the rest, as they say, is history.
We love the brightness of this Asian varietal, Shiro – and find it pairs fabulously with mint, freshly picked from our kitchen garden. Inspired by a patch up mint growing wild by the Shiro tree- what grows together does indeed, go together.
This plum jam vies for most versatile – awesome with toast, excellent with cheese, and perfect for anything you’d use a mint jelly on (pork, chicken, or lamb). For an inspired cheese pairing, serve this jam alongside goat cheese, or gussy it up with a little prosciutto for a perfect charcuterie pairing. Serve straight from the jar with pork or lamb chops. Go nuts! Reduce wine, butter, shallots, add half a jar plus a pinch of salt and glaze a few duck breasts during the last five minutes of cooking.
Ingredients: shiro plums, organic fair trade cane sugar, organic lemon juice, mint leaves
Still handmade in just six copper pots on Orcas Island ✨; 7.75oz
