Apricot Preserve

From the Wieser family business, located in Wachau (Burgenland, South Austria), comes this handmade preserve, which follows the tradition that almost every household in the Wachau cans its preserves itself. We offer you four basic preserves that taste, in the best sense, simple and homemade. For preparing preserves only fully ripe fruit are directly frozen after harvest and canned on demand with a preserving sugar – in small batches of ca. 12 kg that each produce approximately 70 jars. The fruit are cooked very briefly, strawberries and blackberries five to six minutes, apricots (the most popular fruit from the Wachau) around eight minutes, and rhubarb approximately ten minutes. The fruits are not blended; consequently, whole pieces remain intact, which adds essentially to the fresh fruit taste.

The Wieser family business follows the Wachau tradition of preserving fruit spreads (fruit content 66%) that taste like homemade in the best sense of the word. No matter whether it is apricots or rhubarb: Harvested fully ripe, they are boiled down with preserving sugar as briefly as possible and not pureed - which contributes significantly to the fresh fruit flavor.
