It's always fun to
incorporate different flavors into recipes I cook. And tonight I will be able
to use some wine jams I received from Hip Artisan brand jams.
Here is what the company is
about. As food and wine enthusiasts, that they are, the company is still
hunting for new ways to experience them. They claim, "the diversity is the
spice of life." Because wine and cheese go so well together, it was only
appropriate to intensify the mix. With jams becoming their favorite topping, they
found that incorporating wine improved the jams acidity and brightened its
fruit tones. This blend has enhanced the value of their wine and jam combo.
I knew right off the bat,
these jams we're going to make a wonderful addition in tonight's dinner. And I
am so excited to begin.
First up is the mango
vignoles wine jam, in which I will use as a topping for tonight's dessert. The
ingredients sound awesome, sugar, sugar,
Vignoles wine, mangos, lemon juice and pectin. Upon opening the jar, you get
the sweet smell of a tropical scent. For information this is what vignoles wine
is. Vignoles is a versatile hybrid wine grape variety. They yield healthy and
fruity late harvest sweet white wines. In tasting the jam, you get the flavor
of honey, white grape, and mango. It is a sweet, from the mango, and at the
the texture spreads wonderfully. The jam would pair with many foods, and add
additional flavor as well. With this wine jam I made a dessert topping for my
angel food cake. It was fantastic.
Before dinner I used the raspberry rose wine jam, for a appetizer. I took crackers, toasted them, topped them with a little dab of parm cheese, toasted finely chopped pecans, and a dollop of the raspberry rose wine jam. Need I say, this was gone in a matter of seconds. It was my first attempt at this recipe, and I don't think it would have been a hit, if it was not for the raspberry rose wine jam. The ingredients in this wine jam are, sugar, raspberries, dry rose wine, lemon juice and pectin. When you open the jar you have the aromas of berries. It is a delightful jam, that would be wonderful in many different types of dish's you prepare. The taste is just simply put, divine. You get the taste of the wine, and the taste of the raspberry fruit, seeds and all. The color as well as the taste has a deep flavor, that just wows your palate. The wine in the jam brings out the taste of the raspberries. The raspberry rose wine jam is a lovely accompaniment, and I can't wait to use it again.
I am now, preparing my fish dinner. For the glaze I am using the bourbon peach jam from Hip Artisan BrandsJam. This is one of their brand new wine jams, with ingredients of sugar, peach, white grape juice, bourbon, lemon juice and pectin. It made a wonderful glaze for my fish. The taste brought you back to a summer day sitting on a porch in
