You’ll want to pick up this unusual conserve (of quince, apple, walnut, honey, lemon juice, anise seed, Banyuls vinegar) if you are:

• roasting some roots and vegetables and want a quick sauce underneath your platter of roasted veggies….top with chopped parsley, lemon, crunchy salt and olive oil.

• cooking up some pork chops or lamb burgers and need to sauce your bun….

• serving blue cheese….

• building a savory morning toast with an egg, a slice of cheddar or spreadable cheese, maybe with a little sauerkraut on top for crunch…..
