Amora

Mancha tudo num raio de um metro da árvore. Mais doce que a amora-preta, e desmancha só de olhar.

12 pairings for Amora.

Açúcar

common

Low acid and low pectin, so sugar alone will not set it. Lemon or it stays syrup.

Almost no sourness of its own. The jam will not set or taste right without it.

Iogurte

common

Anatolia serves them together in the morning; the acid does what the fruit will not.

Amêndoa

common

Benzaldehyde and dark berry, the same argument marzipan has with cherry.

Maçã

common

Hedgerow logic: the apple supplies pectin and acid, the mulberry supplies colour.

Two Persian perfumes; the fruit is winey enough to take a floral without collapsing.

Tahine

uncommon

Sesame paste and mulberry molasses is an Anatolian breakfast, not an invention.

Same winey volatiles; simmered together the fruit tastes like it was fermented.

Pato

rare

Jammy dark fruit against rendered fat; it does the cherry job with more sugar.

Lactic chalk under collapsing sweet fruit; the cheese is the acid and the structure.

Piperine on soft sweet berries reads as a savoury course. Strawberry logic, darker.
