What it is

How people cook with it
Preserves are a versatile pantry staple. They can be used in sweet and savory applications.
- Spread on toast
- Swirl into yogurt
- Fill pastries
- Glaze roasted meats
Open the jar and spoon out the desired amount. It is ready to eat directly from the jar. For baking, it can be warmed slightly to make it more pourable. It can be used as a filling for cakes, cookies, or tarts. A thin layer can also be brushed onto grilled or roasted meats towards the end of cooking to create a glossy, flavorful glaze. Experiment with different applications to discover your favorite ways to enjoy its fruity sweetness.
How it differs from similar foods
Preserves differ from jam because they contain larger pieces of fruit. Jelly, on the other hand, is made from fruit juice and is clear and smooth. This preserve offers a more rustic texture with discernible raspberry pieces.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the jar in the refrigerator. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness. It is best to consume the preserves within a few weeks of opening for optimal flavor and texture. Keep it away from direct sunlight.
