Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spread is a [seasonal condiment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cranberry-orange-dip) that's perfect for any time of day. The spread is made in small batches in Portugal from pumpkin, cane sugar, fruit pectin, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. The result is a sweet and savory flavor profile that "majors in pumpkin flavor – with a light cinnamon accent." As far as serving the Pumpkin Spread, [Trader Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-hummus) suggests pairing it with a full-flavored cheese like the brand's Dried Fruit Goat Log or our Cheddar with Scotch Bonnet Chilis. The spread also works well in sandwiches, on bagels, or just a simple slice of toast.
