- Baking ingredient
Spread it generously on toast, bagels, or muffins for a sweet breakfast treat. Stir it into plain yogurt or oatmeal for added flavor and a hint of fruitiness. It makes a delightful filling for pastries, cookies, or even as a layer in cakes. You can also incorporate it into glazes for roasted meats or poultry, adding a subtle tropical sweetness that complements savory dishes.
