Note on Just Jan’s [4]

Just Jan's Kadota Fig Fruit Spread [5]This is a premium local preservers maker who uses local fruit, a minimum of sugar, a splash of lemon juice and some pectin. That’s it! Jan can’t call it jam because the sugar content is too low to be classified as jam, so it gets labeled “spread.” That works for me, because less sugar means more fig flavor. She has other spreads, including raspberry, pomegranate, a zippy mango chipotle and apricot, for example. They are the truest, purest flavors you can imagine! I recommend them highly. Just Jan’s sent a sample of the Kadota Fig Fruit Spread for recipe testing.
