Last year I started making my own jams, preserves and conserves. I had never really made any before, except for one try at making wine jellies as Christmas gifts before I got married. One thing that I really didn’t like about doing it myself is the need for large amounts of sugar to make sure the pectin sets up. Sometimes the jams just tasted sweet instead of like the fruit themselves. And for the amount of fruit necessary it was hard to buy good quality fruit, prepare it and preserve it all in a day or two.
The other day Crofter’s sent me a 4 pack of their new Superfruit spreads. There is the South America, North America, Asia and Europe. The South America is Maqui and Passionfruit blended with Morello Cherries and Red Grapes, the North America contains Wild Blueberries and Cranberries blended with Morello Cherries and Red Gapes, the Asia is raspberries and Yumberries blended with Morello Cherries and Red Grapes, and the Europe is Black Currants and Pomegranates blended with Morello Cherries and Red Grapes. These spreads are fantastic. They are made with organic fruit and cane sugar and are tested for pesticide residue.
What I love about these spreads is the fact that they aren’t overly sweet. They actually have a slight tartness that is extremely pleasant. And although Crofter’s is GFCF and the boys enjoy them on their GFCF toast, Larry and I have both fallen in love with eating them topped on a bagel spread with St. Andre Cheese. This makes for a lovely earthy, sweet, tart combination that really is a wonderful way to start your day, that is, if you can eat dairy.

cherries or peaches
cherry
The fresh fruit, called yang-mei, is not yet available for sale in the United States. It is chewy and juicy with a pit like a cherry. Most varieties have a bumpy purple or red surface, like a litchi, although the skin is edible.

raspberry
The Yumberry ranges in color from white to pink, red and purple. But they say that the purple tastes the best.
