I haven't had it for quite some time because I'm diabetic (I can't handle
bread well), but I use it on toast just like any other fruit jam. It's
apple-y and cinnamon-y, and eating it will always bring me right back to
early morning sunrise breakfasts at my grandma's house when I was growing
up. My grandma always had a jar homemade apple butter in her fridge.
