Preserve made from sweet cherries – mild, rounded, and easy to spread for breakfast.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGruber's Cherry Preserve\u003c\/strong\u003e is a handmade preserve from Reigersberg near Ilz in Eastern Styria. It is cooked from sweet cherries, sugar, pectin, and a little malic acid, 210 g per jar. Mild and fruity, for bread, rice pudding, and sweet dishes, without artificial colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCherry Preserve by Gruber's\u003c\/strong\u003e is the preserve for everyone who likes cherries sweet. In Austria, a clear distinction is made: the *Weichsel* is the sour cherry, tart and acidic, while *Kirsche* usually refers to the sweet cherry. This preserve focuses on the sweet cherry. This makes it milder and rounder than a sour cherry preserve, creating a variety that children and adults like equally. Unlike the cherry ragout from the same producer, it is set with pectin. It is easy to spread and therefore belongs on bread, not just as a dessert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSweet cherry, low acidity, soft on bread\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe preserve tastes of ripe sweet cherries, fruity and soft. A light acidity from the malic acid keeps it fresh. The cherry itself brings little tartness, which is why the preserve comes across as gentle and balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to raspberry, it is less tangy; compared to damson, it is brighter and more summery. Those looking for a cherry preserve with strong acidity, as provided by sour cherries, will find this one very mild. It is therefore less suitable for cheese with a lot of salt and spice than a tart variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRice pudding, semolina porridge, and the morning buttered roll\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the morning, the cherry preserve belongs on a buttered slice of bread, a roll, or a croissant. Spread over quark with a little vanilla sugar, it makes a quick breakfast that tastes like dessert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts real strength, however, shows with warm sweet dishes. A spoonful of cherry is a better fit for rice pudding with cinnamon and sugar than any other variety. The same applies to semolina porridge, the Austrian *Grießkoch*, and sweet cheese crepes (*Topfenpalatschinken*). For a cherry cake without fresh fruit, spread a layer of preserve onto a shortcrust base and sprinkle crumbles over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a dessert in a glass, layer cherry preserve, whipped cream, and crumbled chocolate cake. This is reminiscent of Black Forest cake and is ready in ten minutes. It makes a sweet accompaniment to mild fresh goat cheese on a baguette for an aperitif. For muffins, add a teaspoon to the center of the batter before the tin goes into the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm up two tablespoons of preserve with a splash of lemon juice and pour it over vanilla ice cream. The lemon adds the acidity that the sweet cherry lacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHandmade at the Fruchtzauberei in Reigersberg\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe preserve comes from Reigersberg near Ilz in Eastern Styria, from the kitchen of Gruber's Fruchtzauberei, a small family business. The farm's history dates back to 1860, with fruit growing, specifically apples, added in the early 1990s. The tasks are divided: as a master fruit grower, René Gruber is responsible for cultivation, while the cook, Beatrix, handles the preserving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike every variety from Fruchtzauberei, this one was created through joint tasting and experimentation. It is made by hand using only sweet cherries, sugar, pectin, and malic acid. Their motto is \"Quality over quantity.\" You can find the preserve at the farm shop, in selected stores, and with us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor children, rice pudding fans, and everyone who likes it mild\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis preserve is for everyone for whom sour cherry is too tart and raspberry too acidic. It is suitable for families with children, people who enjoy cooking rice pudding or semolina porridge on Sundays, and anyone who wants a mild breakfast. As a small gift, it fits into a basket with rice pudding, a cinnamon stick, and a jar of honey for friends who enjoy sweet cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer your cherry juicy and with a hint of vanilla, choose the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/kirschenragout-mit-tonkabohne\"\u003eCherry Ragout with Tonka Bean\u003c\/a\u003e.
