    It’s not my thing, but I can respect the patience and skill it takes to make preserves. Home made jam is often better than store bought, so I expect the same applies to self preserved fruits etc.

      Sugar is used as a preservative but until you make your own jam you have no conception of how much sugar is used, jam is just jelly for adults.

          Its equal parts weight of the fruit and the sugar, generally.

            There are low sugar versions and even no sugar! But it’s a lot of sugar if you go with a classic recipe!

              that explains why i’m not losing any weight. i knew that peanut butter was high in calories, but didn’t know jelly was just as bad.
