[@urwhatueat2170]

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.

[@BobbyParrish]

thanks for the info!

What about Once Again organic almond butter? The only ingredient is organic almonds. The imported brands of fruit spread, Darbo and Dalmatia, are delicious. Both exclude the "ose" sugars and chemicals, although high in cane sugars.

[@katythriftyunder35homeowne57]

You can add apples- apples have natural pectin

[@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.

[@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

[@TheAggie2309]

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.

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! :-)

[@ssuperr405]

I've put frozen raspberries in a food processor to make jam before. It wasn't really sweet, but it was good in my opinion!

[@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.

[@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.

[@baykittygirls9520]

I make make jam with fresh or frozen organic blueberries or strawberries and chia seeds. Heat fruit in saucepan until they break down, stir in lemon juice and a touch of stevia or monkfruit (as needed), remove from heat and stir in chia seeds. Quick, simple, and delicious!

[@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.

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!

Congratulations Bobby! I love your videos and I would like to see a video about the best vegetables to eat.

I avoid cashews because they have lectins in them and lectins cause Inflammation for me. I am allergic to peanuts so I use almond butter. I've heard roasted nuts are better I did research that I found that to be true but curious of your thoughts. Have you done any shows in regards to fermented foods for good gut health? I have a lot of good info on that. I enjoy your shows a lot it confirms a lot of what I have researched and recommended to people who contact me (I am a disabled Nurse) but, I also have learned some new things from you in several of your videos. Plus I love your upbeat positive vibes you send out :)

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 :)

I looked up the products you said were the best, wow the prices are crazy!! I can't afford to spend $9.59 for a jar of Jam Or 16oz of Laird creamer for $24.99! Love your channel, just found you a couple days ago

[@RetroreviewsPlus]

yea the sad truth is most people cannot affor to buy the products Bobby reccomends

[@robertamandab7932]

Yea it's kinda sad it is so expensive to eat really healthy.

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.

This recipe uses honey which is natural but I'm sure you could substitute Monkfruit/Erythritol. Easy 3-Ingredient Chia Seed Strawberry Jam 1 pound fresh organix strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced 3 tbsp organic honey add 1 more tablespoon if you like your jam very sweet, or other vegan honey substitute 2 tbsp chia seeds Instructions Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the strawberries. Add the honey and place on the stove over medium heat. As the strawberries begin to soften over the heat, stir them around in their juices and the honey. Once the berries have softened to the point that they're starting to fall apart, use a potato masher or fork to break them up even more. Let the mixture come to a slow boil, stirring almost continually. Once you see some big bubbles break the surface, add the chia seeds. The chia seeds will help the jam achieve a gelatinous texture while also adding fibre, protein and healthy Omega-3 fats. Continue stirring the mixture over low heat for about 15 minutes, and then remove the pan from the stove. If you enjoy jam with small chunks of fruit in it, then you're done! Simply pour the mixture into a mason jar and cover it tightly with a lid. If you'd prefer jam with a smoother texture, feel free to add the mixture to your blender and pulse it a few times before pouring it into a mason jar. Or, use an immersion blender and pulse only a few times. While the jam is still hot it may seem more fluid that you would expect. The chia seeds need a bit of time to do their work, so let the jam cool to room temperature in the jar and then put your jar of jam in the fridge for a few hours and it will achieve the perfect texture.

Love Bonne Maman....but now I make my own low sugar refrigerator jam (cannot tolerate any of the sugar substitutes) and use the cute jars that I saved.

Smuckers has a low sugar line that unfortunately has been reduced. It used to have grape, strawberry, apricot and orange. Now I can only find grape and strawberry. 6g carbs total, fruit and a little sugar. Not super clean but good and easy to find. Thanks for this video.

Awesome video Bobby! A lot of great tips in this one. It really is "Pick your poison" with jams, unfortunately. I'm sure there are some organic ones out there with little sugar, but I'd imagine they cost like $30 for 300g lmao.
