Dave’s Gourmet Palette Purple Basil Jelly
Texture: jello, crystallized with age
Colour: garnet
Taste: slightly metallic
Sweetness: 2/10
Calories: not on jar
As recommended, I ate this on a rice cracker with some cambazola cheese. It was not really to my taste and I wonder if it’s not to a lot of people’s since it’s now on clearance on the Dave’s Gourmet website. Perhaps I am a supertaster for this particular flavour, or perhaps I let it sit in the fridge too long before I dared open it.
The recommendations on the jar were: triple cream, three-year-old cheddar – raw milk, parigiano-reggiano [sic]. It also recommends use as a glaze for cheesecake and cheese tarts. The ingredients are: apple juice, sugar, oranges, purple basil, vinegar, pectin, cranberries, spices.
If anyone has had better experiences, please let me know. I hate to brush off a jam unfairly.
