Kroger Cranberry Raspberry Spread
What it is
This is a fruit spread that combines the tartness of cranberries with the sweet-tart flavor of raspberries. It is made with real fruit and sugar, creating a smooth and spreadable consistency. The blend offers a balanced taste that is neither overwhelmingly sweet nor excessively sour. It comes in a glass jar, ready to be opened and enjoyed. The spread is a convenient way to add fruit flavor to various dishes.

Open the jar and use a clean utensil to scoop out the desired amount. It is excellent when spread thinly on warm toast, bagels, or English muffins. For breakfast, it can be dolloped onto oatmeal, yogurt, or cottage cheese. It also works well as a filling for crepes or as a layer in cakes and pastries. In savory dishes, a small amount can add a surprising fruity note to glazes for meats or as a component in a cheese board.
