Wilkin & Sons Cranberry with Cointreau Preserve
What it is
This is a delightful preserve made from cranberries, infused with the bright, citrusy notes of Cointreau. The cranberries provide a tart foundation, while the Cointreau adds a sophisticated layer of orange flavor. It's a rich, spreadable condiment that balances sweetness with a pleasant tang. The texture is smooth with some small pieces of fruit, making it appealing on the palate. It comes in a glass jar, suitable for gifting or keeping in the pantry.

Enjoy this preserve straight from the jar as a spread on warm toast, scones, or croissants.
