Jam or butter (6)

I believe the answer is:

spread

This clue is a double definition.

'jam' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'butter' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for spread that I've seen before include "Open, fan out, unfold" , "Disseminate through padres" , "Distributed over" , "Parsed (anag.)" , "Type of betting" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and the Newsday.com.
