Discover the vibrant, tart-sweet delight of Mama Pelagia’s Cretan Sour Cherry Preserves, crafted from sun-ripened Morello cherries handpicked in the lush orchards of central Crete. Each jar captures the deep ruby color and fresh, juicy bite of perfectly ripe cherries, gently simmered with just enough cane sugar to enhance their natural tang without overwhelming their delicate flavor.
Slow-cooked in small batches to preserve the cherries’ firm texture and vibrant aroma, this spoon sweet pours with a luxuriously thick consistency and a glossy sheen. The result is an artisanal preserve that balances bright acidity with a subtle sweetness, delivering an irresistible burst of fruity intensity in every spoonful.
Renowned for its bold cherry character and elegant finish, Mama Pelagia’s Sour Cherry Preserves are as versatile as they are delicious. Spoon them over creamy Greek yogurt or panna cotta for an indulgent dessert, spread them on warm brioche or toast for a standout breakfast, or pair them with aged cheeses and charcuterie for a striking contrast of flavors.
