Broadsided by the immediate popularity and demand, that early incarnation grew quickly into Friend in Cheeses Jam Company.

Electric Beetroot Confiture: Golden beets are shredded and cooked down with citrus, pink peppercorns, thyme and vanilla. Expect the unexpected with this wildly original jam. But you can bet it's delicious, especially with a turkey and swiss. Or serve alongside farmhouse bread and a beautiful hunk of Comte cheese.Strawberry Tarragon: The sweetness of sun-kissed strawberries meets the herbalicious ...
