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.

Safety first — read before you cook

This is a traditional food, not a treatment. Please check with your doctor or pharmacist before making it a regular part of your diet if you:

  • are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are cooking for a young child;
  • take regular medicines — especially blood thinners, blood-pressure, diabetes or immune-suppressing drugs;
  • have a kidney, liver or heart condition, or a known food allergy.

Stop eating it and seek advice if you notice an allergic reaction or feel unwell. Safety notes reviewed 8 October 2026 · How we write safety notes
