To use, simply open the container. The blend can be poured directly into smoothies, blended with yogurt and ice for a refreshing drink. For sauces, it can be simmered with spices like ginger and chili to create a glaze for chicken or pork. It also works well as a filling for tarts or as a topping for pancakes and waffles. Its natural sweetness means less added sugar is often required.
