Fruit spread is a sweet condiment made primarily from fruits, sugar, and sometimes pectin, which helps it thicken. It is often used as a topping for bread, toast, or pastries, providing a burst of fruity flavor. Unlike traditional jams or jellies, fruit spreads may contain less sugar and more fruit, making them a popular choice for those seeking a healthier option. Fruit spreads can be made from a variety of fruits, including strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. They are typically cooked down to create a thick consistency, allowing the natural flavors of the fruit to shine through. Many brands offer fruit spreads that are organic or free from artificial preservatives, catering to health-conscious consumers.
