Love cheese? Yes. Love fruit? Yes. Jam? Oh, yes. Put them all together, and check, check, check -- a mind-blowing tasting event. This apricot-filled and cumin-spiced confit isn't as sweet as a traditional jam, so it makes a ravishing relish for your favorite cheeses. We wouldn't expect anything less than these carefully crafted creation from Belberry, a Belgian producer that has been committed to quality since its start in 1956, when a small Flemish grocer was determined to revive time-honored, artisanal jam-making techniques.
Fairway Marketplace's master cheesemonger Steve Jenkins recommends pairing this confit with Uplands Cheese Company's Pleasant Ridge Reserve. It's also superb with Camembert and Brie.
Fairway Marketplace is brought to you by Fairway Market, a specialty food chain that started back in 1933 with a small fruit and vegetable stand on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Today, Fairway Market is legendary for its experts and expertise in all things food, and a relentless obsession with quality throughout all of the different departments in its stores. In December of 2011, Fairway launched this online shop, so that we could bring the best of the best of what Fairway offers, at the same great values, to those who don’t live near one of our stores. Why keep all of this foodie goodness to ourselves? That simply would not be fair.
