Open the jar and use a clean spoon to scoop out the desired amount. Spread it generously on warm toast, bagels, or biscuits for a delightful breakfast or snack. It can also be stirred into plain yogurt or oatmeal for added flavor and sweetness. For baking, it works well as a filling for pastries, cookies, or cakes. In savory dishes, a small amount can add a surprising fruity note to glazes or sauces for meats.
How it differs from similar foods
