Casablanca Market Preserved Lemons from Morocco
Casablanca Market's preserved lemons have a bright, balanced flavor and they aren't overly salty or bitter like some brands. We like that they add a bold, piquant kick to dishes without being too sour, and their tender texture is perfect for chopping finely and incorporating into recipes.
Marchesi di San Giuliano Orange Slices in Syrup
We can't get enough of the warm, vibrant flavor of these orange slices in syrup, which our food editor, Matt Card, liken to deconstructed marmalade. To make them, organic blood oranges are hand-picked from the producer's own orchards, sliced finely with the rind still on, then briefly blanched to remove some of their bitterness and carefully layered in jars. The orange slices are covered with a reduction of orange juice, sugar and a touch of brandy—no pectin or artificial sweeteners—which contributes a vanilla-like roundness as well as sugary depth and richness. In addition to their rich flavor, we love the amazing texture of these orange slices, with a wonderful contrast between the silky pulp and surprisingly tender rind, which can be cut through with a fork.
Blake Hill Preserves Pumpkin Maple Butter
This Pumpkin Maple Butter is the perfect, understated addition to your autumn pantry. Made with pumpkins, Vermont maple syrup, apple cider vinegar and spices, the resulting butter is creamy and smooth—and refreshingly restrained compared to most pumpkin spice products. With its soft, silky texture and delicate spice, the pumpkin butter is perfect for stirring into oatmeal or porridge, fall soups like butternut squash, and holiday desserts (we also love it right out of the jar). This jam is nut-free and gluten-free.
Yakami Orchard Yuzu Marmalade
Juicy, flavorful and wonderfully textured Yakami Orchards Yuzu Marmalade is made with fresh, local yuzu from a collective of family farms in Japan’s Miyazaki prefecture. Balanced out with honey and sugar, this yuzu marmalade is bright, tart and warmly sweet with every bite. Just by opening a jar of Yakami Orchards’ product, you’ll be able to smell the bright and subtly floral aroma of yuzu. We love the plentiful chunks of yuzu rind, which are thinly sliced and add texture without making the marmalade clumpy. The yuzu pieces contribute a pop of piney bitterness that is a pleasant counterbalance for the overall sweet spread.
Eat This Yum Balsamic Caramelized Onions Jam
A little sweet, a little savory, this Balsamic Caramelized Onion spread from Eat This Yum is a cheese board’s best friend. Two varieties of onion, Vidalia and red—paired for well-rounded flavor—are diced and cooked down with balsamic vinegar. The onions get jammy but stay intact for a chutney-like texture—unlike some jams that can feel overly gelatinous. And it’s surprisingly well balanced: Balsamic vinegar shines in this, cutting through the jam’s sweetness for tang and umami. Made with just five simple ingredients, this versatile onion jam pairs well with a variety of savory recipes.
Blake Hill Preserves Berry Collection — Set of 3
Featuring some of the best jams we’ve tasted—and recognized with Good Food Awards—this berry trio comes from Blake Hill’s botanical “farm and forage” collection, which combines edible wildflowers with seasonal farm-fresh fruit. All of Blake Hill’s preserves are perfectly balanced between sweet and tart and have a plush, silky texture. This collection includes our three favorite flavors; all are nut-free and gluten-free.
Blake Hill Raspberry with Wild Bergamot Jam
Bergamot, a Mediterranean citrus grown at their Vermont farm, adds a peppery, floral note to bright, perfectly tart raspberries. The jam works beautifully in sweet applications, added to a linzer torte cookie or layered into coffee cake batter. We like it with savory dishes as well, like game meats—try it in a sauce for duck, or simply serve the jam alongside.
Blake Hill Wild Blueberry with Lavender Jam
A classic combination, the fragrance of the house-made lavender syrup hits the nose first, but upon tasting, the floral flavor is actually quite subtle and mellow—the tart Vermont blueberries shine here. And the texture from pectin is brilliant, too—the jam flows off the spoon and isn’t overly gelatinous.
Blake Hill Strawberry with Wild Rose Jam
Blake Hill gets the balance of floral and fruit just right here—local wild Jacobite roses add a hint of subtle aroma to the sweet, early-summer strawberries, without overpowering it with perfumy flavor.
