Two Lower Sugar Jams: Added Sugar Comparison

Trader Joe’s Organic Reduced Sugar Strawberry Preserves 15.2 Oz.  

Added Sugars:  12%

Bonne Maman Intense Red Fruits 8.2 Oz.

Added Sugars:  14%

Surprise!  Lower sugar jams go bad fast!  Because they have less sugar, they don’t last that long in the fridge. For me, best to go with the Bonne Maman, for portion control, and since the jar will get used up quicker, for the 2 percent difference in added sugar.
