Eden Organic Tart Cherry Butter
What it is
This is a smooth, spreadable fruit butter made from organic tart cherries. It is cooked down slowly to concentrate the natural fruit flavors and sweetness. The process removes much of the water content, resulting in a thick, jam-like consistency. It contains only organic tart cherries and organic apple juice concentrate as a sweetener. The absence of added sugars or artificial ingredients makes it a simple fruit spread.
How people cook with it
Fruit butters are versatile and can be used in many ways in the kitchen. They add a concentrated fruit flavor to both sweet and savory dishes.
- Spread on toast or scones
- Swirl into yogurt or oatmeal
- Use as a filling for pastries
- Incorporate into glazes for meats
Open the jar and use a clean spoon to spread it. It is ready to eat directly from the container. You can add it to baked goods like muffins or cookies for a burst of cherry flavor. For a simple dessert, serve a dollop alongside cheese or crackers. It can also be mixed with a little water or juice to thin it out for use in sauces or marinades. Its concentrated nature means a little goes a long way.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional jams or jellies, cherry butter does not typically contain added pectin or large amounts of sugar. It relies on the natural fruit sugars and the reduction process for its texture and sweetness. This results in a more intense, pure cherry flavor.
Who it is for
Home cooks who enjoy simple, fruit-forward flavors will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate the cherry butter to maintain its freshness. Keep the lid tightly sealed between uses. It should be stored in the refrigerator to prevent spoilage and preserve its quality for future enjoyment.
