The BEST Jelly & Jam To Buy At The Store...And What To Avoid!

Bobby, the Bonne Maman fruit reserve with the checkered lid has been made in France for about 150 years and the family goes back that many years.

I make a fruit spread from a bag of frozen cranberries (love tartness!), an organic Granny Smith apple, cored, peeled and chopped, and an organic Bartlett pear cored and chopped…cook everything down in a pan until its thick then cool and jar and keep in fridge. I will also use a hand blender to smooth it a bit. Love it on my Dave’s Killer bread toasted.

[@healyourselfparsonsparsons6915]

I make my own too. I use 2 cups sugar free frozen fruit and 2 Tbs. Chia seed. Heat in a saucepan, mash the fruit, add the seeds and let it rest, Put it in the fridge stirring it once to make sure the seeds don't settle on the bottom. Super easy, super fast and super yummy.

[@lornamiles-baum7035]

The best jams that I have, I make myself.I use dried apricots and nothing else. Everything has sugar and the apricots have natural sugar and it’s sweet enough for me, that’s for sure. I have to admit it wouldn’t be sweet enough for some of my Friends who love sugar. Soak the apricots overnight and just simmer them in the water the next day until they are soft and make a natural jam

Congratulations on 1M! The “preservative” in jams and jellies is the sugars. They keep the Water Activity high enough to prevent micro growth. The low sugar versions often add the preservative - potassium sorbate - to reduce mold growth. It is important to keep the low sugar versions in the fridge. The citric acid (or ascorbic or malic) is added to lower the pH and get the pectin to gel. Sodium citrate is a buffer salt to stabilize the pH for improved consistence.

Haha the way you pronounce Bonne Maman (means “good mother” in French) is hilarious, loved it! The “e” in bonne is silent (unlike Bonnie) and the word kinda sounds like “John”. Maman is pronounced kinda like “ma”-“muh”. That one doesn’t really compare to any word in the English language so I would just look up the video pronunciation for it ;) Bonne Maman is a very popular French jam brand. You’ll find it everywhere and it’s way cheaper in France. Yes the ingredients are not necessarily the best but French produce isn’t as heavily sprayed as the produce in the US and glyphosate, although not completely banned is no longer heavily used: some 36 glyphosate-based weedkillers are in the process of being banned.

[@frankdrebin2343]

i recently discovered "D'arbo" brand raspberry spread (at harris teeter) and it blows Bonne Maman out of the water. No joke , Bonne Maman tastes like sugary water compared to D'arbo Raspberry spread.

[@smithpatricemary]

Hi Bobby, To make jam less sweet ( I am the same, find it hard to cope with anything tasting too sweet as I gave sugarup in 2012!), I make my jam half organic strawberries and half organic raspberries ( about 500gms), chop and put in saucepan and cook medium heat for about 10 minutes, put in a one tbsp of stevia (my recipe says 2 tspns, but that I find is too much for my sweet- sensitive palate, so stick to one). Stir stevia in, and keep stirring for around 15 mins, stir 2 tbsps chia seeds ( a healthy pectin replacement) for the last five minutes. I actually find also one tbspn Chia seeds is enough. Cool for half hour off heat, and pour in recycled clean glass jars with lids and refrigerate. If you want it chunky like a real jam, leave as is, I blitz a bit with blender stick whilst in pan to make jam more "spreadable", but with still good fruit texture. I find that the chia seeds help really well with the thickening processing, and jam is great for the next day! PS- You can squeeze a spot of lemon in during the cooking process if desired ( I don't generally). So- good luck! :-)

[@homehere9817]

I literally use organic sugar free peAnut butter and slice up strawberries on my bread. It tastes good also and no sugar added. I’m going to start adding blueberries to my sandwich. I think both are good jelly/jam substitutes.

[@getoutsidenow420]

You could mash some blueberries and sprinkle 100% pure stevia extract on it of you really want it sweet but the stevia will get your palate immune to the sweetness of say raw honey but i dont mind, that pyure stevia is the best ive had in the round shaker see its made in china

[@nataliehunter8622]

[@zbsanders]

I've done my own jam or "preserves" with just the fruit and pectin. You buy the berries (sometimes you can add something like orange juice or lemon to flavor more) and the pectin. It comes out pretty good. Although, because it is fresh with zero preservatives, you don't have long before mold gets to it. I think you have a good week or two.

[@skatinka5788]

Being from Russia my parents always made their own jams, usually with regular sugar and nothing else. I have been making with monk fruit sweetener which is not as sweet but I don’t mind it as I don’t like sweets that much. It is however is nice with evening tea which is very Russian, lol

[@HFVidShotz]

Thanks Bobby and Art. Congratulations on 1M !

[@nunezm58]

Hi Bobby. You asked why the sugar in preserves and jellies. Is not only for the sweetness; sugar makes the Ph acidic and that inhibits bacterial growth. So even homemade jams have a super high level of sugar. Lowering the added sugar will not "preserve" the preserves and would spoil very easily. But maybe adding enough citric acid would raise the Ph and would make a good jam? Finally, sugars lower the cost making the preserves more affordable (and more profitable). Lidl has a reduced sugar mix red fruit and an apricot version that are super low in sugar plus some stevia. St. Dalfour has great flavors and it's a classic.

[@loriwebb994]

I know this is late but I made jam over the weekend using organic cherries and honey as the sweetener. You have to use a special pectin that is made for low sugar/sugar alternatives. The brand I used was Pomona's Universal Pectin that I found at the health food store. It tastes great and you'd never know there's no cane sugar.

[@YAHdozinda]

I make blueberry jelly all the time... Just two ingredients...i boil blueberries until liquid evaporates then mash a banana in there for last 2 minutes for sweetness ...last about 3 days...when i make big batch i freeze it... delicious 😋

[@tammyr2966]

I make my own jam and if you pick ripe enough fruit, you don’t need sugar. I have made sugar free raspberry and strawberry jam- freezer jam and jarred jam and it’s just fine. If you want it sweeter, you could always mix it with honey when you go to spread it.

[@MichaelBanfield-xz5sp]

[@TaniaQ33]

I make my own Keto Jam. 1.5 Cups Strawberries 2 tbsp lemon Juice freshly squeezed. About 10 drops of Lakanto Monkfruit sweet drops. I put this all in a small pot at low temp. I mash my strawberries when they get soft and I add 2 tbsp of chia seeds (optional) I put my Jam in a mason Jar when its hot, seal it with the canning lid, let it cool down on the counter and refrigerate it. Its delicious. Lasts about 1.5 weeks. Try it. 👌

[@kristinb5121]

When doing canning, the pectins available for purchase (baking aisle) like Sure-jell or Realfruit, come in different versions. Original and low sugar or sugar free, which needs added fruit juice. The instructions warn to use exact measurements for safety. The sugar and lemon juice or citric acid are used to get the PH level right so the water bath canning is safe for shelf storage. If you plan to refrigerate or freeze, just using the fruit’s natural pectin (like in the case of raspberries) or adding some pectin or chia for fruit with less natural pectin is fine. Jams are relatively safe, which is why water-bath versus pressure canning is ok. Many home cooks start their canning with these. It’s a lot of fun to have organic blackberry jam using blackberries you bought at the farmers market in August when there’s snow on the ground in January.

Biona Organic Apple and Pear Spread - nothing but the fruit. It's very concentrated and the consistency is a bit like marmite aso the amount you need is about the same. Their other spreads use apple juice. It's not cheap but I don't eat a lot of jams or spreads so it lasts me a long time in the fridge. I first bought it when I was a student nurse 46 years ago.

You need sugar which reacts with pectin to “gel” jams and especially jellies, you can go sugar free, but the texture is different, especially jellies, fruit juices contain enough sugar content, but you typically need to cook jams/jellies longer which will affect flavor...food science rocks!

Luckily you don’t have to. Organic doesn’t mean shit and sugar isn’t bad for you. Unnecessary preservatives or additives sure you can stay away from those but lots of brands have affordable options. This is all quackery.

I make my own! Fresh organic figs, 1 tablespoon Monk Fruit Sugar, and lime juice (from 1 lime)

Please do one of these on Asian condiments: soy souce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce etc. I have been making lots of stir fries lately, but I always wonder what is in those sauces and if more natural alternatives exist. Thanks

[@BuffyNoir140]

Yes please

[@gb11809]

For soy sauce substitute, try coconut aminos

[@leticiazmikly4858]

If you can't find coconut aminos try Bragg liquid aminos but it does contain soy

Just found your channel today and I'm hooked. So much good information. Thank you for doing the research.

Thanks for the vids about bread, pb jellies and jams. I'm a morning coffee, toast with pb and jelly guy. I've gained too much weight during the covid-19 threat and on top of that I'm a senior with knee arthritis and a bad back. I'm trying to eat sensibly to keep the extra pounds down. Thanks for your guidance.

I take the Costco organic, frozen blueberries put them in a pot cook them down add a squeeze of lemon, let it come to a boil and then cook it low. Makes a great jam. Definitely sweet enough

I make my own preserves and using monkfruit has worked really well for me.

❤Can make your own organic raspberry/blk berry/blue berry jam with chi seeds with or without some raw honey ..by just mashing them all together and let sit for an hour. Its like a cup of berrys, 2 tablespoons of seeds and honey to your liking. Last about a week or so, so good on pancakes. Definitely clean berrys in a water white vinegar soak for 20-30min and rinse 1st. Soooo good and soo easy.

Luv ur videos, could watch them all day. Personally, when it comes to nut butters, I always go for the TJ's organic Valencia peanut butter with no salt added. Super clean , super cheap, and I know u would approve it :)
