Notes
- Serve with assertive cheeses on a cheese board, or use as a condiment on burgers and sandwiches. Try topping simple fish or chicken with a dollop of the jam, or over cooked green beans for an elegant twist.
- Freeze in individual portions flat in snack style zip top bags to have on hand for holiday get togethers.
