Spring Variety
Almost Strawberry
The bright, familiar character of strawberry — preserved so faithfully you'd be forgiven for thinking it was the real thing.
Our most beloved variety, Almost Strawberry captures the open, sun-warmed quality of a strawberry at the height of its season. The preserve carries a rounded sweetness, a faint tang at the finish, and a color so close to the original that it has been known to confuse pastry chefs and, on one documented occasion, a mid-sized strawberry. Spread it thickly on warm toast, fold it through whipped cream, or spoon it over a slice of pound cake. Deliscious on its own, straight from the jar, in a moment of private need.
(Please consult the ingredient list on the jar before consumption. We are required to mention this. We mention it warmly.)Tasting note
