Apricot Jam & Preserve with Honey
FRUCHTSTOFF apricot jam is made with 67% apricots and 10% honey. It tastes sunny, mellow and well-rounded, making it perfect for breakfast, yoghurt and delicate desserts.
The taste of apricot
Apricot tastes of golden fruit, summer and gentle tartness. Compared to dark berries, this variety is soft, friendly and understated, which makes it suitable for many occasions.
With 67% fruit, the apricot takes centre stage, while the 10% honey content brings out its sunny, warm note. This makes the jam a variety that even guests at the breakfast table love to try.

Jam, preserve or fruit spread?
The label states the legal name “Apricot Fruit Spread”. In everyday use, many people simply call it jam or preserve, meaning the same sweet fruit spread for bread. The Guide to the Difference explains the terms in detail.
