Let’s Get Cheesy With Figs
Cheese enthusiasts know the flavor potential that is possible when paired with the perfect jam. With our fig jam, it’s time to go big or go home. Cheeses that may be considered strong to some palates can find their balance when paired with a fruit-forward fig jam. We recommend slathering an entire disk of brie with our fig jam and then baking. The resulting baked brie that comes out of your oven will be the very definition of creamy, cheesy decadence, perfectly paired with the fruity zing of figs.
Take Your Ham Sandwich to the Next Level
This is not the ham and cheese sandwich that you had packed in your lunchbox when you were a kid. Fig jam can bring your ham and cheese sandwich rocketing into the world of decadent, savory comfort. Feel free to play around with cheese options — like you need an excuse — but we recommend using gruyere, black forest ham, and if you’re feeling adventurous, some caramelized onions. Place your preferred amount of these sandwich fillings with Jamology’s California Black Mission Fig jam between two pieces of rustic Italian bread, butter it up, and grill in a skillet over medium heat until each side is golden brown, flipping carefully. Cut on a diagonal, serve warm, and be prepared to enter sandwich bliss.
Luxurious Crispy Duck with Cherry Jam
When it comes to poultry, chicken is most people’s go-to meat. During the holidays, you’ll see turkey pop up here and there as well. But to really provide a luxurious treat for an upscale dinner or to entertain guests, consider crispy duck with a jam-infused pan sauce. Whether you’re pan-searing duck or roasting it, you can easily create a decadent pan sauce using Jamology’s Cherry Walnut jam, white wine, orange juice, thyme, and butter. There are several recipes for pan sauces available on culinary sites, so explore and find a recipe that appeals to you! Cherry is a classic pairing with duck, and our flavorful, fruit-forward cherry jam is just the thing you need for a meal you won’t forget.
