Every once in a while everyone should take some time to discover a food that they would not normally eat and treat themselves. Something that I call a luxury food – that is, it would not normally appear on your weekly shopping list. Years ago I was introduced to Mostardos – Italian preserved fruits in mustard syrup. I adore them. Luscious, sticky sweet with a mustard tang and simply divinely delish in my mouth. I particularly like using them in fresh pasta dishes with a touch of cream and sage leaves crisped up in butter. I am salivating thinking of it right now.
A version of this is a discovery we made in a truly breath taking village, that we fell in love with in Provence.
A store called Lilmand Confiserie in the village of Isle-sur-la-Sougue (Island in the River).
These little gems are “Fruits Confits au Sirop”

Go on, lash out and treat yourself something special. You deserve it.
Happy tastings.
