Marco Polo Strawberry Preserve 368g (13oz)

Marco Polo Strawberry Preserve is a strawberry jam in the Marco Polo specialty food brand format — a household-size strawberry preserve for the Balkan and Eastern European diaspora table, the most universally beloved jam flavor used daily for breakfast spreads, palačinke fillings, and pastry. Marco Polo is a North American specialty food brand producing the Eastern European pantry staples — jams, pickles, spreads, and condiments — that the diaspora kitchen keeps for everyday use when the European imports are not available or for the formats sized for a North American household. Strawberry jam is the most cross-cultural of all fruit preserves: while each Eastern European country has its characteristic jam flavors — Bulgarian slatko, Romanian gem de vișine, Polish porzeczkowa, Croatian džem od šljiva — strawberry jam sits at every table regardless of national tradition, the universal morning spread that every grandmother made from garden strawberries in June and every diaspora household buys to reproduce the taste of that summer-kitchen jar. Spread on bread, roll, or toast as the everyday breakfast preserve, use as a filling for palačinke, palacsinta, blini, or any thin crepe where a sweet jam center is traditional, use in baking for linzer cookies and thumbprints, or serve alongside fresh bread and butter at a breakfast table as the strawberry preserve that every household keeps on hand regardless of which tradition they come from.
