Le Bon Magot: Carrot and Fruit Conserve with Coriander & Jaggery

Pickles and jams preserve a history of flavors and ingredients. This is particularly true of our Carrot and Fruit Conserve with Jaggery & Coriander, originally called “lagannu achar”, named after the celebration where it is historically eaten, the wedding. The plump fruits and the plethora of spices are pricey so this unctuous conserve was reserved for special occasions like weddings. The tradition of incorporating dried fruits with fresh produce for sweetness is distinctively Persian while jaggery is indigenous to India. The harmonious coupling of these two ingredients is much like the immigrant community that settled in Gujarat after fleeing persecution from the Arab conquest of Persia between the 8th and 10th centuries.

Apple cider vinegar, jaggery (raw sugar), organic carrots, garlic, sweetened dried cranberries (cranberries, sugar), dried dates, organic dried figs (dried figs, water), dried apricots (apricots, sulfur dioxide {preservative}), spices including coriander seed, mustard powder and turmeric, sea salt. Contains sulfites.
