Apricot Butter, Lekvar (Bende) 30oz

I love the smooth creamy texture of this delicious apricot butter! I highly recommend this!

I loved the plum lekvar so much, I tried the apricot flavor, despite the poor reviews. However, I wish I had saved myself the trouble.The first thing I noticed was the thin, runny texture. It immediately looked unappealing. I took a small taste, and I gagged, as I was overpowered by its too-sweet taste.I love apricots - in all forms. I appreciate the tartness with a hint of sweetness. This was ruined by the cloying sweetness completely eclipsing any appreciable apricot flavor.I'm on chemo (2 kinds), and it changes so much in my body -- including my tastes and tolerance for certain foods. Sometimes, a favorite food can taste completely terrible to me, but a few days later, it may taste better to me.My husband doesn't like apricot, but I begged him to taste a small bit, to see if it was my chemo making it taste odd. He made a face and said, "It's definitely not just you!"I kept the jar in my frig for a few weeks, vowing to find a use for it, because I detest wasting food. Today, my husband and I were cleaning out the frig in prep for Thanksgiving. We both stared at the jar. It had not been touched since the day we sampled it.After a short silence, my husband said, "I will throw it out?" I agreed. Now we have closure.

The seller packed this the best I have ever seen. It was shipped well and size is good.

I love the Sarah Beth Apricot Orange Marmalade but it’s hard to find and expensive on Amazon and the last bottle was not as good as usual. The orange rinds were way too big and too many in the jar. I purchased this brand of apricot butter at a specialty store and filled half of a smaller jar with this butter and the other half with orange marmalade from Knots and it is perfect together. It is even better than the Sarah Beth I used to buy. It took a few weeks to get this large jar of apricot butter but it was well packed and less expensive than the store price. Mix this wonderful apricot butter with orange marmalade for a delicious jam on buttered toast. I love it on toasted Sheepherders bread. Yummy!

To make cookies. It is great product. I liked it.

This was purchased for my 93 yr old mother who came from Hungary some 60 years ago and when I asked her how she liked it she said, "It's ok, but not true lekvar. It is thin and watery. Lekvar isn't watery like this." I didn't taste or even see it, but she is the expert. She wanted to bake kiffles (pronounced KEE-flees) but said it was too thin to use. But it was tasty she said so I'm giving it an average rating.

This is what I love- chunks of apricot in thick preserve but easily spreadable and amazing fresh taste.

We were going to use this in a cookie but it was very thin and syrupy not lika any apricot butter that we've used before. Very disappointing
