Nectarine Fig Rum Meyer Lemon Conserve

Sometimes, more really is better.

Unctuous, this preserves is nectarine pieces (either certified organic from CA or from New York's Hudson Valley) macerated with honey and Meyer lemon zest, then cooked with organic figs, lemon juice, and star anise until just before the preserve sets. Then the star anise blades come out and the rum goes in.

This conserve has huge flavor. The last thing you taste is the zing of the aromatic Meyer lemon zest, which ties it all together.

This honey sweetened conserve contains: certified organic/IPM grown nectarines, honey, dried organic figs, lemon juice, rum, organic star anise, meyer lemon zest.
