Rock-Sugar Wampee Preserve

Why people make this preserve

Wampee comes into season only briefly. The lighter-skinned, plump fruit is the sweetest; this batch turned out quite tart but wonderfully appetite-rousing. Nourilo likes to turn the extra fruit into a rock-sugar jam — a spoonful stirred into warm water makes a pleasant drink traditionally associated with aiding digestion, promoting saliva, and easing a phlegmy cough.
