Notes:

Pakistan Mulberry: Exotic and Rare in both texture and flavor -  Flavors of boysenberries, hints of honeydew melon, or even a grape-like sweetness. 

Goldbar Apricot: Balanced, Cooked Fruit, Orange Blossoms 

About the Fruit: 

Pakistan: The Pakistan first came to the United States in 1986, when Mike McConkey, owner of Edible Landscaping in Afton, Va., asked George A. White of the U.S. Department of Agriculture to import promising mulberry varieties. Cuttings of this variety arrived from the Pakistan Agriculture Research Center in Islamabad without a local name, so the variety has been called after its country of origin.

Goldbar:  Cross of a Goldrich x Blenril made by Tom Toyama, WA State University in 1989. Early season apricot, color light red over yellow-orange, firm, large, bright and round flavor!

Origins Of The Jam:
Pakistan Mulberries take us a lot of labor to work through as the long finger like berries have to be hand stripped from their woodsy stems in order to be processed.  The berries are both berry and melon like in their flavor and after a decade of preserving them it's apparent to be that it needs some bright tones to balance out this luxury berry.  These first of the season Goldbar Apricots came to market at the same time as the Mulberries (which are around for 3 weeks max) and we gave it a test and with the most extraordinary results.
