Cherry Good Thyme Marmalade

Flavor Profile

Cherry Good Thyme Marmalade is a sophisticated, sweet-tart preserve that pairs perfectly with cheese boards, roasted meats, or toast.  The vibrant citrus, sweet summer cherries, and earthy herbaceousness of thyme create a balanced, complex spread.  The cherries deliver a rich, fruity sweetness and a jammy depth.  It anchors the flavor and softens the sharp tang of the citrus.  The oranges provide a bright, vibrant punch.  The rind adds essential citrus oils, giving it a zesty, slightly tart aftertaste that feels very grown-up.  The thyme adds an herbal, earthy undertone creating a subtle complexity that cuts through the sugar, preventing the spread from becoming overly sweet and making it surprisingly savory.
