Apple what now?... Yes a couple of years ago I wondered the same thing, did it actually have butter in it? How was it made and what would I eat it with?
So what exactly is it? Well a fruit butter is usually a stoned fruit, cooked at a low temperature for a prolonged period of time until the natural sweetness of the fruit come to the fore and it becomes a smooth buttery fruit puree.
As a result of this slow cooking process, fruit butters need less added sugar, which makes for a guilt free spread on your morning wholemeal toast, stirred into greek yoghurt or slathered onto pancakes.
