Sour Cherry

A sour cherry marmalade that combined citrus peel with tart cherries for a breakfast spread with extra bite. The style sat between jam sweetness and classic marmalade bitterness.

Prince Edward Island Preserve Company produced marmalades in New Glasgow, PEI, where Adam and Marsha Doiron now steward the family creamery. Cherries, lemons, and oranges formed the fruit base.

This flavour is discontinued on the brand website. Refrigerate any remaining jars after opening.
