Dolgos are the perfect crabapple and here they are cooked with organic rosehips and honey to make a mouth watering, smooth, intensely fruity flavor that's amongst my top 5 favorites.

You can take apple preserves just about anywhere in the kitchen. For cheese pairing: start by eating this with a clothbound cheddar or fresh goat cheese and then move onto the traditional pork chop and apple pairing by melting the preserve in a saucepan with dijon mustard, add in some cream and salt, allow to simmer and thicken. Serve the sauce with oven roasted/charred onions and a thick pork chop.

This honey sweetened jam contains: ecologically grown Dolgo crabapples, honey, organic rosehips, lemon juice.

Our cooler temps seasonal flavor with Plain Goods is Apple Butter. Is there a more classic autumnal preserve? This year we made our apple butter with Dolgo Crabapples, Ashmead Kernel and Honeycrisp Apples from Addison County Vermont while taking a Masala Chai approach to spicing the fruit butter with the addition of a dash of white pepper. Combined with whole vanilla beans, the aromatic mix is “comfort with pep”.

There are multiple approaches to making fruit butter. Traditionally, butters are minimally sweetened and use less added sugars. We take a light touch with the honey (apples can be so sweet just on their own!) and cook our butters quickly like our jams. This maintains the juicy, fresh fruit flavor and keeps the honey and/or sugar flavor from taking over.

This apple butter contains: apple, honey, lemon juice, vanilla bean, ceylon cinnamon, clove, allspice, white pepper, nutmeg.

Sometimes, more really is better.

Unctuous, this preserves is nectarine pieces (either certified organic from CA or from New York's Hudson Valley) macerated with honey and Meyer lemon zest, then cooked with organic figs, lemon juice, and star anise until just before the preserve sets. Then the star anise blades come out and the rum goes in.

This conserve has huge flavor. The last thing you taste is the zing of the aromatic Meyer lemon zest, which ties it all together.
