Black Velvet Apricot-Pluot Jam with Cognac

White Peach and Rosemary Jam

This jam takes advantage of the sweet depth of white peaches by adding a savory component of rosemary, black pepper and Cognac. This would be fabulous on grilled bread and/or as a spread for a good, salty, hard cheese!

This is a scrumptious treat that was highlighted in the Recipe Redux column that Amanda Hesser used to write for the NYTimes Magazine. I've made this recipe countless times, and it always receives rave reviews!
