Even people who can't handle too much spice will love this Apricot Harissa, which has permeating sweetness and light dried-fruit quality, backed by warming spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and cumin. Whereas most versions of the popular North African condiment are fairly spicy, Belazu's product tempers chili's heat so it's just a mild, pleasant tingle on the palate.

HOW TO USE
Try Apricot Harissa on a ham and brie sandwich, or smear some on a wrap made with leftover rotisserie chicken and peppery arugula.
