Its sweet and slightly tart flavor complements a variety of foods, making it a flexible ingredient in both sweet and savory applications.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to jam, this fruit spread often has a higher fruit content and a less gelatinous texture. It aims for a more pronounced fruit flavor and a looser consistency, making it easier to spread and incorporate into recipes. Jelly, in contrast, is typically made from fruit juice and is much smoother.

How to keep the rest
After opening, it is best to keep the fruit spread refrigerated to maintain its freshness and quality. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed between uses. Store it in the main compartment of your refrigerator, not in the door, where temperature fluctuations are more common.
