Girl Meets Dirt Orchard Apricot Spoon Preserves

Apricot is one of those flavors we don't need to explain – but our Orchard Apricot jam is special, infused with the literally hard to crack almond flavored kernels within. Anyone who has had a luscious, toothsome spoonful of apricot jam knows the magic these beauties can do with your tastebuds. Apricots, however, aren't something we can easily grow in the islands - but they thrive in the warmer summers east of the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. So we've partnered with a small family orchard that's been growing fruit in the Okanogan Valley right across Highway 20 for decades – to bring you a classic – apricot jam made in the French confiture style, made with the most delicious, naturally grown apricots that warm central Washington sun can provide. We pair them with organic unrefined cane sugar, organic lemon for balance, and their own kernels for nuance and a hint of almond flavor. We painstakingly crack open each pit to harvest the kernel, which we then gather in a sachet to infuse the jam. A staple in any charcuterie board or cheeseboard, this apricot jam is an excellent cheese pairing option that adds a delightful burst of fruity flavor. This jam is a beauty, don't miss it.
