If eating organic is important to you, but you still want to enjoy a tasty PB&J, pick up a jar of Crofters Organic Strawberry Fruit Spread. This spread is made with organic berries and fair-trade sugar.
Because this is technically a fruit spread (though you can use it just as you would any other preserve or jam—even in recipes), this option is thicker than any other our Test Kitchen tried. But the texture is what made this spread a real standout to our team of tasters.
“I like this one because it seems hearty,” says Mark Neufang in the Test Kitchen. “It’s thicker with visible seeds and fruit inside.”
These pieces of real fruit give this jam a powerful berry flavor without too much sweetness. These qualities make Crofters a great candidate for using in sweet strawberry desserts like Jammy Dodgers or this Strawberry Jam Cake. This spread will add plenty of fruit flavor without an overwhelming dose of sugar.
