Trader Joe's recently introduced a Carrot Cake Spread that is made with real pieces of carrots, plenty of different kinds of fruit like pineapple and orange peels, raisins, autumnal spices, plus cane sugar and molasses for sweetness. With the introduction of this product, Trader Joe's noted that 18th century Shakers used to prepare jam with carrots and this new product puts a fresh spin on the tradition.
The versatile Trader Joe's Carrot Cake Spread has the potential to be enjoyed in many different ways, such as on crackers layered with cream cheese, on toasted bread or other baked goods. For an interesting new take on the classic peanut butter and jam, Trader Joe's also suggests replacing one's favorite fruit jam with this inventive new option.
