When Dessert Is a Journey
The world of sweets is changing: more and more people choose products with transparent ingredient lists and a vivid natural character. Especially wild-harvested foods and traditional ingredients known from family recipes. Pine Nut Marmalade and Pine Cone Marmalade are like two doors into the taiga: one opens with soft, nutty depth; the other with resinous, pine-fresh brightness. These are desserts that don’t hide nature—they highlight it.
What’s Inside: Ingredients & Features of the Two Marmalades
Pine Nut Marmalade
Ingredients: sugar, pine decoction (water, young pine cone), molasses, pectin, pine nuts, citric acid, glazing agent (vegetable oil, beeswax).
Highlights:
- natural components, non-GMO and no colorants;
- pine nuts add a refined nutty note and a delicate crunch;
- pine syrup lends a golden hue and a characteristic conifer aroma — no flavorings.
Pine Cone Marmalade
Ingredients: sugar, pine decoction (water, young pine cone), molasses, pectin, citric acid, glazing agent (vegetable oil, beeswax).
Highlights:
- natural components, non-GMO, no flavorings, no colorants;
- the key “spark” is candied young pine cones (tsukaty) that deliver a vivid, memorable taste and texture;
- a rich, resinous aroma comes from the conifer syrup, not additives.
Both marmalades are made with pectin—a plant-based gelling agent that creates a pleasant, jelly-like structure.
Ingredient Benefits: Gently, to the Point
We don’t make medical promises—these are desserts, not supplements. Still, the composition is worth noting.
-
Pectin (from fruit): a plant fiber that helps achieve a smooth texture; in a diet, fiber supports digestion and satiety.
-
Pine nut: a natural source of plant protein and valuable fats, contains vitamin E and magnesium; adds nourishment and a long aftertaste.
-
Syrup from young pine cones & candied cones: deliver a distinctive conifer aroma with resin and honey notes, along with natural plant compounds traditionally valued in folk recipes.
-
Sugar & molasses: natural sugars responsible for sweetness and a stable consistency. Sugar-containing treats are best enjoyed in moderation.
Important: these desserts contain natural ingredients of taiga origin. If you have food allergies or cook for children, choose with care. Marmalade with sugar is not recommended for children under 3. Such products are generally unsuitable for people with diabetes.
How We Make It: Natural, Careful Process, Handmade Touch
-
Raw material selection. We use young pine cones (for decoction and candied pieces) and select pine nuts. Ingredient quality is the main key to flavor.
-
Decoction & syrup. Young cones are gently simmered to obtain a saturated conifer decoction. The syrup based on it gives the color and natural aroma of the marmalade.
-
Pectin jelly. Pectin helps achieve a stable, classic jelly structure without artificial gelling additives.
-
Molding & inclusions. Pine nuts go into Pine Nut Marmalade; candied young pine cones are used in Pine Cone Marmalade.
-
Finish. A whisper-thin glaze of vegetable oil and beeswax gives sheen and smoothness without masking flavor.
-
Composition control. We work without GMOs, colorants, or flavorings—nature sets the character.
