Organic Apricot Jam
What it is
This is a sweet spread made from organic apricots. It is prepared by cooking down the fruit with sugar until it thickens into a jam. The organic nature means the apricots were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It offers a balance of fruitiness and sweetness, with a texture that is smooth yet may contain small pieces of fruit.
