The Conference pear and the Bramley apple are two of the most quietly dependable fruits in the orchard, and at Cross Bank Farm we are lucky enough to grow both.
Our own Conference pears and Bramley apples, slow-cooked together with sugar and a gently warming blend of vanilla, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg until the kitchen fills with a fragrance that is equal parts orchard and spice and the preserve settles into something rich, soft and quietly extraordinary.
Nothing added that is not needed. Nothing hurried that should be slow.
Perfect on hot toast, splendid alongside cheese and surprisingly, consistently persuasive on a cold-meat platter in a way that is hard to explain and easier simply to experience.
Ingredients: Sugar, Pears, Apples, Lemon juice, Vanilla bean extract, Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg.
