This holiday season, give your dishes that little extra pop of flavor with Trader Joe's new Ginger Spread.
Trader Joe's Ginger Spread is made for the brand by a supplier in Dundee, Scotland. As the brand explains, "this sensational Spread is crafted in small batches, traditional style, using copper kettles and a small list of ingredients (sugar, water, crystallized ginger, fruit pectin, ginger puree, lemon juice, and citric acid)." The result is a zippy, flavorful spread that has both sweet and spicy flavors. Interestingly, this makes the new spread perfect for sweet applications like punching up a bowl of warm oatmeal or Greek yogurt, or savory applications like a tasty glaze for pork chops and salmon.
