About Preserve

Preserve is a sweet and tangy spread made from ripe fruits that are cooked down with sugar and sometimes pectin to achieve a thick, jam-like consistency. Originating from centuries-old techniques to extend the shelf life of seasonal fruits, preserves are a staple in many cuisines worldwide, from European breakfasts to Middle Eastern desserts. Rich in natural flavors, they provide vitamins and antioxidants from the fruit but often contain added sugar, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Preserves can enhance dishes with bursts of brightness and are typically used on breads, pastries, or even as a glaze for savory meats. While homemade versions may allow for better control of ingredients, store-bought options might contain additional sugars or preservatives. Choose varieties with minimal additives and high fruit content for a healthier option.
