If you’re still seeking inspiration for stocking stuffers or other small gifts, we recommend to sweet treats that have no added sugar: Apple Butter and Apple Honey from Langer Farms.

They’re both vegan, made from apples, even certified OU Kosher.

Oh, and their good-for-you, healthful condiments, great for starting off the new year without added sugar.

Nestled in the heart of California’s San Joaquin Valley, family-owned Langer Farms specializes sustainable farming to produce the finest fruits, juices and purees from local fruits and vegetables.

Their crops include:

Fruits: apples, blood oranges, kiwis, lemons, oranges, pomegranates, strawberries, tangerines, and watermelons.

Vegetables: beets, cucumbers, ginger, and turmeric.

But today, it’s about two apple condiments. Both products are vegan, gluten free, certified OU-kosher, with no added sugar or sweeteners. Just the tartness of sustainably farmed apples.

Both will be appreciated by people who like their sweet condiments to be all natural, and not very sweet.

LANGER FARMS APPLE BUTTER

With the spreadability of a purée, this apple butter retains the tang of the tart apples from which it’s made. The only other ingredients are cinnamon and cloves.

In addition to a bread spread, we’ve used it for:

Pan sauces (the easy way to deglaze a pan).

Sauce “from the jar”: a topping for grilled meats, poultry, and robust fish fillets.

Topping for tart frozen yogurt.

Cheese condiment.

You can also further flavor the apple butter with additional spices that pair with whatever you’re serving. We enjoyed adding caraway seeds, cardamom, ginger, and nutmeg.

LANGER FARMS APPLE HONEY: 100% BEE FREE

This honey, made only from apples, isn’t sweetened like other products of the same name. Nor is it apple blossom honey, which is an animal product made from flower pollen by bees.

Instead, apple juice is pressed and boiled down into a thick, syrupy concoction that looks and pours just like honey. But unlike other honeys, it taste like tart apples. We:

Added it to tea and smoothies.

Tried it on pancakes (not sweet enough for us).

Used it as a sandwich spread instead of mayonnaise (or you can blend the two).

Added some chili flakes and blended it into a spicy yogurt dip.

You can find both products on the Langer Farms shopping site, Amazon, and other e-tailers.
