Low Sugar Jam

As a diabetic, I am always on the lookout for sugar free/low sugar and low carbohydrate food items.
I wrote about sugar free jams back in 2023.
Unfortunately that brand became quite expensive with high delivery costs.
I reverted to Diabetes NSW recommendation which was a French product. 
It still had 10% sugar content but it was all fructose rather than sucrose so a lower GI ie. 19 versus 65.
Fruit content was 50% which is normal for commercially produced jams.
Then I came across a product range from a family company, Quincey Jones Jelly & Preserves, based in a small town on the Victorian/NSW border.






















Their jams and marmalades contain 3.5% sugar and 70% fruit.
They all taste great. 
And I am willing to ‘wear’ that sugar level. My blood sugar tests show I have things under control.
A bit expensive, yes, but order enough and you get free express post shipping.
And they have more than just jams in their range.
I don’t normally recommend businesses on my blog but this one is worth checking out.
