Fruit Preserves

Unopened jars can be stored in a cool, dark pantry for up to a year. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 6 months for best quality.

Use fruit preserves as a glaze for baked meats like ham or pork loin.

Swirl into yogurt, oatmeal, or pancake batter for added flavor.

Incorporate into salad dressings for a sweet and tangy element.

Spread on a cheese board for a delightful contrast to savory cheeses.
