- Use a variety of spices: This will add depth of flavor to your preserves. Some good options include cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Let the preserves cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Store the preserves in a cool, dark place: This will help them to keep their fresh flavor for up to a year.
