PRESERVE PROGRAM
AT MISSION HILL FAMILY ESTATE

For almost one hundred years the Okanagan Valley has been known for its outstanding quality tree fruit. In more recent years, the valley is being recognized globally for producing superior quality wines, demonstrating once again what an exceptional agricultural region our valley is.


In keeping with this long history, we at Mission Hill Family Estate have developed a premium line of preserved fruit. Using only naturally grown fruit that is harvested at the peak of freshness, our kitchen team captures the true flavour and essence of the fruit in every jar. All our preserves are designed to be food friendly and pair well with all our wines.


No matter what the season, take pleasure in a jar of Mission Hill Family Estate preserved fruit and enjoy the true taste of the Okanagan Valley.

Oculus Cherries

Oculus Cherries 500mL Screams the Okanagan! The Okanagan is so well know for its cherries as Mission Hill is for its Oculus. The two just became a natural pairing.

Vanilla Pears

Vanilla Pears 1L Taste like they look! These pears are estate grown on Mission Hill right next to our Riesling vines. Picked at the height of their ripeness, the fresh pear flavour works beautifully with the elegant touch a single vanilla bean pod. What better than to have some preserved pears alongside our Reserve Riesling Icewine? Doesn’t get much better than that!

Plum & Pinot Sauce

Plum and Pinot Sauce 250mL How Sweet! This little jar contains a great match, Okanagan plums and our Pinot Noir. A unique sweet condiment perfect for pork and as a dipping sauce for spring rolls or other Asian bites.

Peach Chutney

Peach Chutney 500mL Okanagan’s Sweet and Sour! Created with peaches grown on Mount Boucherie, your first taste will be sweet and then quickly meet by the sour of the white wine vinegar for a delectable balance. This chutney is ideal as a side with roast chicken, pates and terrines. Very versatile with ethnic food. Recipe: Potato Samosa- with Fruit Chutney

Sweet Cherries

Sweet Cherries 500mL An Okanagan Delight! Prepared in a simple sugar syrup, using only the necessary amount of sugar to preserve the fruit, so the rich flavours come through. Chef uses Lapin cherries, which are one of the later ripening varieties, and are known for being excellent for canning and larger in size. The cherries are cold packed, with the pits still in, so that the utmost in flavour is retained. Chef recommends eating them as a dessert item - over crepes as a traditional Cherries Jubilee, with ice cream or in a clafoutis. They can be consumed slightly chilled, where the flavours are most complex (just like wine) or at room temperature. He also recommends that you be sure to use the juice as well. Recipe: Crêpes with Orange Butter

Rhubarb & Vidal Sauce

Rhubarb and Vidal Sauce 500mL Dessert, Delicious! A lovely dessert sauce made with organic rhubarb, complemented by flavours of lemon peel and vanilla. Terrific with panna cotta, ice cream, crepes or with a decadent waffle breakfast! Its natural sweetness balanced with acidity, is perfect with all our Vidal wines. Recipe: Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée Recipe: Chilled Sabayon

The Preserves are now available in our Wine Shop.
