Store
Keep tightly closed at room temperature in a dry, dark cupboard. Use a clean, dry spoon and avoid introducing water.
Prepare

Good pairings
Pairs well with yoghurt, cheese, nuts, fruit, citrus, mustard, warm spices and roasted vegetables.
How to substitute it
Maple syrup or another liquid sweetener can work, but may alter flavour, moisture and browning.
