Cornelian Cherry Preserve (with pits), Tamara, 14.11oz / 400g

Cornelian Cherry Preserve With Pits “Tamara” 400 g (14.11 oz)

Cornelian Cherry Jam With Pits “Tamara” is an authentic fruit preserve crafted from whole cornelian cherries (kizil) in the traditional Eastern European and Caucasian style. Known for their vibrant ruby color, firm texture, and distinct tart flavor, cornelian cherries produce a deeply aromatic, sweet-and-sour preserve. Packed in a 400 g (14.11 oz) glass jar, it is ideal for breakfast, afternoon tea, or dessert toppings.

Distinctive Sweet & Tart Profile

Cornelian cherries contain a naturally sharp acidity that balances perfectly with sugar during the preserve-making process. Keeping the fruit whole with its pits intact helps preserve the shape and rich texture of the cherries, creating a traditional jam rather than a smooth fruit spread.

Serving Suggestions & Culinary Pairings

Tamara Cornelian Cherry Preserve adds a sophisticated sweet-and-tart contrast to everyday treats:

• Serve in small bowls alongside hot black or green tea in authentic tea-table style;
• Spoon generously over Russian-style pancakes (blini), crepes, syrniki, or waffles;
• Mix into plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal, or breakfast porridge;
• Drizzle over vanilla ice cream, cheesecake, or sponge cakes as a fruity topping.

Note: This preserve contains whole cherries with pits. Please remove the pits before consuming the fruit.
