Before using, ensure the jar has not been compromised. Once opened, it can be spread directly onto bread, biscuits, or muffins. It works well as a topping for pancakes or waffles, adding a distinct sweetness. For a savory application, it can be incorporated into marinades or used as a glaze for pork, chicken, or even salmon during the last part of cooking. It can also be blended into smoothies for added flavor and body, or stirred into yogurt for a simple dessert.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional fruit butters, this product features sweet potato as its base, offering a earthier sweetness and a slightly different texture. It does not contain the added spices often found in apple or pumpkin butter, allowing its pure sweet potato flavor to shine through.

How to keep the rest
Refrigerate after opening. It is best to consume the remaining product within a few weeks to maintain optimal flavor and texture. Keep the lid tightly sealed to prevent spoilage and maintain freshness.
