The useful answer

Fruit Butter and the low FODMAP diet

Fruit butter is cooked fruit puree reduced into thick, spreadable condiments for baking. The reduction process concentrates natural fructose and sorbitol significantly beyond tolerance limits. Added sugars in commercial varieties further elevate overall FODMAP burdens. Standard fruit butter remains highly incompatible with low-FODMAP protocols.
