When it comes to Fall favorites, I love a good pumpkin-flavored product [1] just as much as anyone (well, some products [2] not so much). But my pumpkin obsession doesn't come at the expense of maple, a Fall flavor of equal importance. Maybe that's why I was so elated to find out that Trader Joe's [3] is currently selling maple butter, a spread that's essentially just maple syrup that's churned until it reaches a butter-like consistency. Each 9.5-ounce jar retails for just $5.99 and is made with 100 percent maple syrup. It sounds absolutely amazing, and I'm already prepared to eat it with, uh, everything.
Not only would this be a unique and flavorful addition to the condiments section of your refrigerator, but it's also versatile enough for you to slather onto any food you see fit — in addition to pancakes, of course. Someone even used it to upgrade roasted brussels sprouts [4]. Yum. Customers appear to be stocking up on it already, so if you find yourself wanting to get a taste of the seasonal spread, you'll want to act fast.
