Signature Select Spiced Apple Jelly
What it is
This is a sweet and spiced fruit preserve made from apples. It has a smooth texture and a flavor profile that combines the natural sweetness of apples with warming spices. It is a plant-based spread, meaning it does not contain any animal products. The jelly is typically made by cooking down apples with sugar and spices, then straining out the solids to create a clear, spreadable jelly.
