Inspired by the flavors of the Silk Road, Le Bon Magot's small-batch artisanal marmalades have an astounding depth of flavor.
Cozy, complex and ideal for the holidays, this Persian-style jam boasts bursts of rich red fruit flavor brightened by juicy whole sour cherries. Notes of decadent cocoa play up the pomegranate’s slight bitterness, while delicate orange blossom mingles harmoniously with the succulent cherries—which are dried and then rehydrated, packing a more concentrated flavor. We also love the use of mahlab—an aromatic spice made from the seed kernels of cherries—in this conserve, yielding a nutty, pleasantly bitter taste reminiscent of marzipan. Compared to your standard sour cherry jam, this spread offers many more layers of fruit flavor and nuance, with an extra-tangy kick brought by the pomegranate. We won’t judge if you just savor a spoonful straight from the jar, but this conserve has limitless potential to elevate all manner of dishes.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
These preserves make an excellent topping for any dessert or sweet application like ice cream, yogurt, oatmeal, custard pies, pancakes or waffles. We really like them with these Coconut-Almond Macaroons with Cherry Preserves. You can also use these preserves as a filling for pies or a topping for toast. We love them paired with savory ingredients too, like cheese or meats. The fruitiness works especially well with lamb, pork, duck or turkey, like this Brown Ale Turkey and Gravy.
