Taste Panel: Michigan Cherry Preserve

Petoskey's American Spoon is No. 1

"Sweet, tart and sassy. Dark rich color. Great rich and tart flavor. Jumbo soft whole cherries. Perfect consistency. Just like pie filling. It's like eating cherry pie without the crust."
The Detroit News - July 2007

American Spoon Mango BBQ Grilling Sauce - "Give fish a lift with this barbecue sauce. It has a finish of curry and silky sweet mango that's transcendental."

House & Garden Magazine - August 2007

"I have been buying your products for years - since I was a little girl visiting your store in Petoskey. This year we had a big birthday party for my Mom and I wanted something really personal as a centerpiece. I used your Cherry Pepper Jelly and your Red Raspberry Preserves. The winner of trivia about the birthday girl at each table took home the American Spoon jars. We had a little piece of our Michigan summer at our New Jersey birthday party. Thank you for making such delicious quality products"

I adore your gelato and sorbetto! It's unequaled in the U.S., and rivals Bertillon Glaces, on the Ile St. Louis in Paris, home of the world's best ice cream."

"American Spoon Foods is perhaps the premier producer of fine jams, fruit butters, and preserves in the country."

National Geographic Traveler

"This morning I popped open a scone from our local farmers' market and applied a good dollop of your Apricot Butter on one end. What a vibrant flavor!"

Dear American Spoon,

"... cooked for hours, these award winning spreads contain no real butter, cholesterol, or fat, but plenty of fruity goodness ... try the Apricot Butter ... or the Mango Butter ..."

Nancy Kalajian - Styles, The Boston Phoenix

Dear American Spoon,

"The quality of your products never disappoints. A cheesecake topped with Fruit Perfect receives rave reviews every time I serve it."

Pamela A. Simon - Laurel, Maryland

"I just had to tell you how wildly popular your Golden Pear Preserves were at my (cheese) seminars in Aspen. The Preserves went magnificently with several of the cheeses, particularly the (Northern Michigan) Leelanau raclette!"

Laura Werlin, author, "The New American Cheese"

"Our family and some friends have tried all of your products, and we love them all! Especially love the fact that they are not sugary sweet and they taste fresh."
