Blackberry Fruit Spread with 75% Fruit 9.95 oz

Flavor & Texture Profile

• 75% Fruit Content: This spread is defined by a very high concentration of blackberries, providing a tart, authentic berry flavor that isn't masked by excess sugar.

• Rustic Consistency: Because it is a fruit spread and not a filtered jelly, it contains a high density of fruit pulp and seeds, giving it a "homemade" texture.

• Soft Set: It has a more fluid, spreadable consistency than standard pectin-heavy jellies, making it easy to swirl into yogurt or top a dessert.

• Deep Natural Color: The dark purple-black hue comes entirely from the berries themselves, with no artificial dyes.

Core Ingredients

• Blackberries (75%): The primary ingredient and the source of all the flavor and texture.

• Sugar: Used sparingly compared to traditional jams to balance the natural tartness of the berries.

• Fruit Pectin: A natural thickener derived from citrus or apple peels to give the spread its body.

• Lemon Juice Concentrate: Adds a touch of acidity to brighten the flavor and help the pectin set.

• No High Fructose Corn Syrup: Formulated with simple ingredients for a cleaner taste profile.
