The culture of making spreads dates back to the Roman Empire. The first documented mention of jam appears in a Roman cookbook from the fourth century AD called De Re Coquinaria (The Art of Cooking). As sugar was increasingly introduced to civilizations worldwide, it wasn't long before humans decided to preserve available fruit by combining it with sugar. While the habit of maintaining fruits via spreads, jams, and curds is unique to each culture, it is interesting to observe the variations. For example, Mexicans make spreads flavored with apricot and jalapeño, or cactus fruit. Meanwhile, one will find Jams such as Umi Matcha Jam and Ume Jam in Japan. People worldwide make spreads with ingredients they have on hand, making them the ultimate representation of their local cuisines.
