FUELED WELLNESS + NUTRITION | 5 LOW-CARB FRUIT SPREADS AND JAM

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Jams, jellies and preserves. We love them spread on toast, mixed into hot cereal or baked into our favorite recipes. But jams and jellies are typically high in sugar, with 50 calories and 12 grams of sugar per tablespoon.

Here are five no-sugar jams and spreads, all low carb and with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners or colors. We ranked them in order of our (Hank and Molly’s) preference for taste, texture, and overall quality.
