Tired of jams and spreads that promise to be fruity, only to get hit with an artificial sugar buzz? If you’re craving something with real fruit flavor, a touch of sugar, and a lot of authenticity, Crofter’s Organic has just the thing. Perfectly sweetened with Fair Trade organic cane sugar (and with 33 percent less sugar than a preserve), Crofter’s Organic spreads give you more fruit and all the yum.

This is your sign to give the same care to selecting a jam as you would to picking out fresh fruit—painstakingly riffling through the produce section for the best berries or perfect peaches. As a bonus for parents, Crofter’s Organic’s delicious, delightful, and delicately sweetened spreads aren’t just kid friendly. They have a refined side that adults appreciate, too.

Fun fact

“ORGANIC” appeared on the very first Crofter’s Organic label in 1991!

Sumptuous Strawberry

Let’s start with the classic Strawberry Spread—like a burst of sunshine on your tongue. Sustainably sourced organic strawberries are picked at their peak ripeness, creating a bright and fresh flavor perfect for spreading on toast or swirling into your morning yogurt. For an adventurous twist, try mixing it with cream cheese to make a fruity dip. Or make these delicious Strawberry Thumbelina Cookies and soak up the compliments.

Astonishing Apricot

Using vibrant organic apricots gently cooked to perfection, Crofter’s Organic hits a home run with their Apricot Spread. Finding the ideal balance between tart and sweet, this spread makes a quintessential addition to a cheese board or charcuterie platter. Mix it with olive oil, mustard, and vinegar for a surprising, fruity salad dressing.

Remarkable Seedless Raspberry

Made with organic, de-seeded raspberries (that’s right—no more worrying about those pesky bits in your teeth), Crofter’s Organic Seedless Raspberry Spread is smooth and tangy. It’s great for slathering on warm scones or fluffy biscuits. Ready to kick it up a notch? Mix it with cream cheese for a heavenly cheesecake dip.

Blissful Seedless Blackberry

Crofter’s Organic has perfected their Seedless Blackberry Spread using the best organic blackberries from family-run farms in Serbia. This spread is both sweet and slightly tart, easily amping up your toast or muffin. For something a bit fancier, try mixing it with balsamic vinegar for a tangy, fruity grilled chicken or pork sauce.

Feel good about what you buy

By refusing to source fruit from farms that use synthetic chemicals or GMOs, Crofter’s Organic encourages natural biodiversity in plants and wildlife, keeping waterways clean and maintaining fertile soil.

Wondrously Wild Blueberry

Using extra-flavorful wild blueberries from Quebec, Canada, this burst of blueberry brilliance will take your breakfast game to the next level. Offering rich, deep flavor with sweet and mildly tart notes, this spread embodies the natural sweetness and earthy undertones of wild blueberries. Slather it on pancakes or waffles for a morning treat that is sure to make you smile. Feeling posh? Fill a jar with layers of Greek yogurt, jam, fresh fruit, and granola to create a protein-packed parfait.
