Real Apricot Flavor.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost grocery store jams have ingredient lists that go on longer than they should. Trader Joe's Organic Apricot Preserves keeps it to five: Organic Apricots, Organic Cane Sugar, Fruit Pectin, Ascorbic Acid, and Citric Acid. No artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no high-fructose corn syrup. The result is a preserve that actually tastes like apricots — bright, fruity, and lightly sweet with the natural tartness that makes apricot one of the most versatile flavors in the jam category. At 17.5 oz (496g) with about 25 tablespoon-sized servings, this jar goes a long way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePairs With:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toast, English muffins, croissants, biscuits, scones, yogurt, oatmeal, cheese boards (brie, camembert, aged cheddar), pork, chicken, duck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooking Ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use as a glaze for roasted chicken or pork tenderloin; stir into salad dressings for a fruity-sweet note; use as a filling for thumbprint cookies, tarts, or crepes; thin with a little water for a fruit sauce; brush onto pastries before baking for a shiny finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecipe Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apricot glazed salmon, apricot chicken thighs, apricot thumbprint cookies, apricot linzer torte, apricot vinaigrette, apricot brie bites, apricot oat bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e USDA Organic; Certified Organic by Quality Assurance International (QAI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServings:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 25 per jar at 1 Tbsp (20g) per serving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrganic, Canadian-Grown Apricots at a Trader Joe's Price\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrader Joe's sources these apricots from Canada and certifies the preserves through Quality Assurance International (QAI), one of the leading USDA-accredited organic certifiers in North America. The organic certification means the apricots were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and the organic cane sugar replaces the refined white sugar or corn syrup used in conventional preserves. The fruit pectin is the only gelling agent — no gelatin, no artificial thickeners. It's a clean-label preserve that competes with specialty organic jam brands at a fraction of the price.
