One spoonful of Vermont-based V Smiley Preserves’ Cherry Fennel Sherry Jam and you’ll understand why it’s a Murray’s favorite. Tart, juicy sour cherries mingle with licorice notes from toasted fennel seeds, with a background of nuanced acidity from sherry vinegar. These not-too-sweet small-batch preserves get their sweetness from local honey rather than sugar. The result is complex yet balanced, a perfect complement to the sheep’s milk richness of Ossau-Iraty.

“This is my current favorite pairing to put on a cheese plate! It has so much more going on than the average jam, and it’s not too sweet—I love it with grassy Pyrénées Brebis.”

V Smiley Preserves is a New Haven, VT operation named for founder V.
V began making jams while working as a line cook in Seattle, then returned home to the farm in Vermont she grew up on and began revitalizing the land--now referred to as Lil To Do Farm--to produce fresh fruit.
Along with her partner Amy and her mother Susan, she began to craft homemade jams and preserves using the farm’s offerings and local honey as a natural sweetener.
V Smiley Preserves includes a wide array of uniquely flavored fruit jams and preserves that are all highly seasonal, as they’re crafted using what’s currently ripe or in bloom at the time.
