Pear with Honey and Ginger

Fresh from the orchard, ripe pears and crisp apples luxuriate in lush honey and warm grated ginger.

This preserve demands a good pastry – top a croissant, Danish or cider doughnut. Or, stir into your favorite muffin recipe.

Pair with a sharp or bandaged cheddar or a wedge of triple-creme Brie.
This preserve is made with local honey, and local pears and apples when they’re in season!
