Spreadable Fruit

Often referred to as a preserve, this fruit spread can be used like a jam or a preserve to be spread on crackers, bread, toasted foods, or baked goods. It is made in a variety of fruit flavors, all having a very smooth texture that is slightly denser than jams and much heavier than jellies. Spreadable fruit can be used as a filling for cookies, bars, pastries, cobblers, and other similar foods. Typically, fruit fillings have a heavier bodied texture than spreadable fruit, but both may serve similar purposes.
