  • Stir the spread frequently: This will help to prevent the spread from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Use a food processor or immersion blender to puree the spread: This will give the spread a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference.
  • Can or jar the spread: This will help to preserve the spread and extend its shelf life.
