Roasted Garlic Jam

Roasted Garlic Jam: A sweet cooked preparation with more body than a syrup. Fruit, sugar and reduction provide texture; this menu description is not a tested preserving formula.

Context

Use peeled cloves cooked gently until soft. Golden garlic is aromatic but scorched garlic is bitter; garlic-in-oil preparations require controlled refrigeration, not countertop storage.

Example

A menu could use this preparation as a small sweet condiment with cheese, keeping it refrigerated. This is an illustrative use, not a standardized recipe.

How THT uses it

At THT, this preparation is considered only when its taste and texture improve the actual dish; we adapt the portion and presentation to the guests.
