Apricot Cardamom Spread

"With its pungent, peppery warmth, complex floral notes, and zesty hints of citrus, it’s no surprise that cardamom is currently enjoying a moment in the culinary spotlight. In keeping with that spirit of sweetly spiced exploration of flavor, our product developer worked with a Belgian supplier known for their high quality fruit spreads to craft the newest, limited-edition addition to our grocery shelves, just in time for summer. Introducing Trader Joe’s Apricot Cardamom Spread! Made with an impressive 55% Apricot, this thick, sweet-tart Spread offers the sunny notes of its namesake stone fruit, commingled with the pleasant warmth of Cardamom. Spiced (but not overly so), this brightly flavored, fiery orange-hued Spread is an able accompaniment to cheese—think slices of sharply flavored Grana Padano Parmesan or velvety Triple Creme Brie to complement its natural acidity—and would be equally at home on a toasted English Muffin or AB&ACS (Almond Butter and Apricot Cardamom Spread) sandwich."
