What it is
This is a sweet and tart fruit spread made from loganberries. Loganberries are a hybrid of raspberries and blackberries, offering a unique flavor profile. The preserve is cooked down with sugar to create a thick, spreadable consistency. It captures the essence of the fruit in a jar, perfect for adding a burst of flavor to various dishes. The natural deep red color of the loganberries is preserved, making it visually appealing.
How people cook with it
This preserve is a versatile addition to any kitchen, bringing a delightful fruitiness to both sweet and savory applications.
- Spread on toast
- Dollop on scones

- Glaze for pastries
Open the jar and use a clean spoon to scoop out the desired amount. It can be spread directly onto baked goods like toast, muffins, or biscuits. For a more elaborate use, it can be incorporated into dessert fillings, used as a topping for ice cream, or even as a glaze for roasted meats. A small amount can also be stirred into hot beverages like tea for a fruity twist. Its rich flavor makes it a great base for simple sauces or compotes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to raspberry or blackberry preserves, loganberry preserve offers a more complex flavor. It has a distinct tanginess that balances the sweetness, a characteristic inherited from its parent fruits. The texture may also be slightly different, with the potential for small seeds depending on the preparation.

How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the preserve refrigerated to maintain its freshness and prevent spoilage. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed between uses. It should be stored in the main compartment of the refrigerator, not in the door where temperature fluctuations are greater.
