Who We Are

Hi! We’re Matt and Clare, the founders of Quince and Apple. We make small-batch preserves, carefully hand crafting each jar for your eating pleasure. And when we say hand crafted, we mean that the two of us are actually in the kitchen slicing, dicing and caramelizing until all hours of the night. Matt carefully tests each step of the process, tasting and tweaking to ensure each batch is up to our exacting standards. This artisan-centered approach allows us to always use the highest quality fresh produce, adjusting for the differences in season and variety. Enjoy!!

Reviews

“Red wine practically billows from the shallot variety, which finishes with the taste of shallots and a bit of caramelized sweetness.” . Heavytable.com, 1.18.10

“I recommend…Shallot Confit with Red Wine, a fine preserve that features caramelized shallots that are slow-cooked with a robust red wine, so that the natural sugars of the shallot balance the audacious acidic vintage. Not created for the pedestrian PB&J sandwich, this is a truly adult endeavor. Pair it with a favorite cheese that tends to contort the face…like a pungent bleu or an aged sharp cheddar. Serve it with artisan crackers or with roasted poultry.” . Willy Street Reader, 1.10

“Its flavor exhibits a complex and delicate balance between the potent shallots and a robust (but ‘not fancy’) red wine.” . Dane101.com, 6.18.9

Ingredients:
Shallots, Red Wine, Sugar, Red Wine Vinegar, Salt and Pectin
