Condiments
Spiced Quince Preserve from
Palette Fine Foods proves that
a
great condiment does for a
piece of cheese what a great
mustard does for a sandwich. Palette Foods: Condiments For Cheese
Cheese Plate:
This quintet of condiments makes everyday cheese look great and makes great cheese even more exciting. To spruce up everyday cheddar, swiss, and blue, keep jars of Spiced Quince Preserve, Purple Basil Jelly, and Peppered Black Mission Fig Preserve, respectively.
Breakfast: Purple Basil and Golden Raspberry are also designed to go with toast and scones; and the others work well as bread spreads too.
Dinner: Golden Raspberry is a good puree for foie gras, duck, or to decorate a plate with a dab of color. Purple basil jelly does mint jelly one better: offer a dab with lamb or pork chops or loin.
Dessert: Condiments For Cheese also work as condiments for pound cake, or as a top garnish for sorbets and ice creams. A dab of purple basil, fig or sour cherry on top transforms a scoop of chocolate; quince and coffee are an exotic pairing; everything works with vanilla (and if you use a ¼ teaspoon measure, you can put 4 different flavors at the 4 compass points of a scoop.
