Nectarine Lemon Marmalade with Bee Balm + Lemongrass
This flavor was developed in 2018 and went into production in 2019 once NY nectarines appeared and our lemongrass and bee balm were ready for harvest. Year by year, I’ve worked through the garden, creating flavors around my favorite flowers and ingredients growing at Lil To Do Farm.
This preserve is an amalgam. Where with some V Smiley Preserves you can taste all the ingredients in layers, this, like the Bosc Pear Bearss Lime Vanila Marmalade is a set piece, the grassiness of the lemongrass and the herbal sweetness of the bee balm flowers combine with sweet nectarine and tangy lemon to produce a flavor that screams CANDY.
The working elements are lemon shred and nectarine chunks in a nectarine lemon jelly, flecked with bee balm flowers and infused with lemongrass.
This preserve is a flavor bomb and would be wonderful with toast and a creamy cheese like Mt Alice from Von Trapp Farmstead.
The honey sweetened marmalade is made with: nectarine, honey, lemon, lemongrass, bee balm.
