- You've been requesting it, so here is a detailed review of the best and healthiest jams and jellies from the grocery store. The bad news is that most of them are to be avoided bc they are loaded with added sugar..and other nasties. But there are a few gems out there that not only are organic, but use fruit juice to sweeten the jam or jelly, and not too much of it. The amount of added sugar is most store bought jam or jelly is staggering and to be avoid, so try to look for the ones I featured here. Mad love..Bobby, Dessi, Rose, and Art! XOXO

Bobby, the Bonne Maman fruit reserve with the checkered lid has been made in France for about 150 years and the family goes back that many years. During the war with Germany, this family took in and hid , saving the lives of well over a hundred Jews...I love the family story and I love the jam...just fyi...love your videos!
What a lovely story about the family history 😊 this is the Jam I buy & enjoy 😊 I try & read all ingredients & look up how certain foods etc are made 😊
Reasons not to buy. Thank you, kind soul.
The most flavorful cherry I have found including home made and well known Michigan company’s.
I made some strawberry preserves recently only using coconut sugar and lemon juice. It was fantastic!
Recipee please.
Yes sister me too
I make a fruit spread from a bag of frozen cranberries (love tartness!), an organic Granny Smith apple, cored, peeled and chopped, and an organic Bartlett pear cored and chopped…cook everything down in a pan until its thick then cool and jar and keep in fridge. I will also use a hand blender to smooth it a bit. Love it on my Dave’s Killer bread toasted.
I can’t believe the FDA is OK with putting so much crap in our food!!!🤨. Thank goodness for people like Bobby to help guide us 👍⭐️
Well they gotta allow a lot of shit ingredients so we can develop problems from them thus creating customers for big pharma to make money
They todo it because it’s cheaper and they save money
Ah, you still trust government agencies.
They are working with big pharma; keep them sick, they'll need medication! Both are after profits!
Their friends need to make $ somehow.
I love peanut butter and jelly. Thank you so much for this video. I'm very serious when I say we are changing our eating habits because of you. You are the best at what you do. Don't ever think we don't hear you because we do. I appreciate you. I really do. Keep saving lives and saving us from ourselves 🙂 we love you Bobby and team.
I want to let you know for sure am going to make apricot jam. Thanks Bobby. You're very good with your job also you are very funny and that makes me love listening and watching your videos. My son is the person who introduced me to your videos. Keep up the good works.
Congrats on the million mark! I need my baby fix, you have spoiled us viewers by getting to see her so much during quarantine. I am a much smarter shopper now, thanks to your education regarding ingredients lists, so thank you!
love to hear this!
Thanks for shopping and tasting and recommending for us to stay safe as possible!!
I make my own too. I use 2 cups sugar free frozen fruit and 2 Tbs. Chia seed. Heat in a saucepan, mash the fruit, add the seeds and let it rest, Put it in the fridge stirring it once to make sure the seeds don't settle on the bottom. Super easy, super fast and super yummy.
I wrote down your recipe and can't wait to try it. Thank you.
You have changed my life. Any time I have a question about food, I just google your channel and the item. I’m losing weight and feeling amazing! Thank you for everything you do. 💜💜💜
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.
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.
If you have a Harris Teeter nearby, check the Kosher/International section. You will be thanking me.
@@frankdrebin2343 we don’t have Harris Teeter, boo. I’ll keep my eyes peeled.
I'VE LEARNED A LOT WITH YOU BOBBY . THANK YOU VERY MUCH . GOD BLESS YOU ALL !!!
Been waiting for this! Husband is a jam person. I buy Crofter's bc of the availabity. Thank you for educating me! Congrats on 1mil subs!
I really enjoy your videos and appreciate the humor too! You're are trying to keep the information both informative and entertaining. Great job!!!
Congratulations for hitting 1 million subscribers! Love watching your videos, I learn so much. Keep up the great work ♥️
I make my own jam all the time since i grow my own strawberries & kumquat. For kumquat i add sugar, but for pineapple during pineapple season they’re super sweet no sugar necessary. So i simply blend them & cook down w/ ground chia seeds. I can them myself.
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
Lorna.....oh thank u for this recipe. Lovvveee Apricots.
Avoid cheese
That is a great tip! Thank you. I WILL definitely try this.🙂
Thank you for the recipe ❤️
I love dried apricots!!!! I eat them everyday to keep me regular!! They are wonderful fiber! And delicious!!
Just found your channel today and I'm hooked. So much good information. Thank you for doing the research.
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.
thanks for the info!
I've had Trader Joe's jams get moldy in the fridge if not eaten fast enough.
@@BobbyParrish I wanted to let you know there's a "keto" targeted scam going around the web, and thought you may want to do a video on it. A friend passed a long an offer for "free keto pills." My first thought was "you don't need pills to go into ketosis." Well, my suspicion was right. I found out through an internet search that there's all kinds of "fake news" copy all over the web. We have to be proactive about things like this.
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.
You can add apples- apples have natural pectin
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!
My goodness, I've been binge watching you videos all day. So greatful to you guys for all the hard research and time you've put into this channel. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'s
Again, thank-you Bobby for the educational video. Ever since I found you on UA-cam, you have inspired me to eat healthy because we are what we eat. My health totally changed because of you and I hope you touch more people like me all around the world！
Congrats. Thanks for all your team efforts, it is greatly appreciated. I have been informed on how to make better choices. Continued success.
Congratulations on one million subscribers. We love your advice.
Bobby your youtube channel has changed my life for the better. I love your energy and vibe. You are one cool nerdy dude.
Thank you for all your exhaustive research- we really appreciate it.
Thanks Bobby and Art. Congratulations on 1M !
Congratulations Bobby! I love your videos and I would like to see a video about the best vegetables to eat.
Congratulations........... So very deserved by you and your entire wonderful team!
Thank you so much Bobby. I was so confused when I bought the jam. I don't really know what to choose. Now I am listening to you as you told I will buy it again.
Bobby will you please do a video just like this but for Kombucha? That would be marvelous!
I make my own kombucha at home. It's actually very fun learning about fermenting & then adding the flavor that interest you.
I made my own but I could never get the carbonation part right. Just make sure you don't buy the ones with added sugar for sweetness.
@@rebeccafreeman1123 ,
Please I need to see a video on kombuchas
Yes. Please. I need this in my life.
Hi guys, so glad you did this review. It confirms I’m reading my labels correctly. I have been buying the Good/Good brand for a while but definitely wish it was organic. I can find it now at Save-mart in California 👍🏼
Congratulations on 1M! Such a great channel!
Your videos are so nice to watch and are very informative!!
1 Million subs! Congrats!!! You guys deserve ✨ Thank you for all of the info and cutest baby rose!!!!
I love your videos!!! Thank you for teaching us how to eat and stay healthy!
Congratulations you guys on 1 million subscribers! Well deserved! 🏆❤
changing my life with every video bobby. love you keep it up
Thank you for mentioning xylitol. I just recently ran into a “ healthy candy” and it’s by Dr. John’s Healthy Sweets. I have 6 children and I really want them to grow up with a healthy and bright future not one with diabetes or colon cancer.
Thank you!
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.
Congrats on the Million!! Man I love you all! Rock on!!
Awesome video. Thank you so much for taking the time to create these videos. 😊👍❤️
Thanks for the great fruit spread analysis video! You're convincing me to get a Costco membership! 😂 Love your honest talk about reviewing products and recommendations for what's the "cream of the crop" for different foods and drinks! Thanks for all your work you put into the channel!
Cream of crop bobby only has " rich folk" followers...not interested helping "struggling "poor& middle class...his weekly grocery haul costs more than my house payment& utilities for the month.....how is that helping anyone bobby???, I would love a personal response bobby but that we I'll never happen because there is no answer..just making poor folks feel worse cus they can't afford to buy from your examples...it's such a shamè
Thank you for adding 2 keto friendly jams. I'm gonna try the Good Good brand.
Congratulations on hitting the Million mark! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻🏆
Million, congrates to you guys, and thanks for this one
Just ordered a couple of those Laird superfood creamers through your link. Thanks for the tip, looks like quality stuff!
My Costco is now selling Lairds super creamer. 32oz for $20. On sale for $16. We love it
I literally use organic sugar free peAnut butter and slice up strawberries on my bread. It tastes good also and no sugar added. I’m going to start adding blueberries to my sandwich. I think both are good jelly/jam substitutes.
You could mash some blueberries and sprinkle 100% pure stevia extract on it of you really want it sweet but the stevia will get your palate immune to the sweetness of say raw honey but i dont mind, that pyure stevia is the best ive had in the round shaker see its made in china
Same! It is nutritious and delicious on sprouted grain bread 🙂 Making my own almond butter in the food processor has been a game changer as well.
Great idea TY!
I ordered the Laird Hot Chocolate today. Can't wait to try it.
Always amazing content!
Always awesome info!! Congratulations
Love your show! Educational and informative! 1 Million subscribers...Congrats!
Yay!!!! You sure earned it!
Congrats On 1 Million 🎉🎊🍾
Thanks Bobby and Art 😊love y’all’s videos
I've been buying the "GOOD GOOD" brand at my Walmart in Arkansas. Love Love LOVE the strawberry and blueberry. I'm thrilled with it because it's the best I've seen for keto. Odd that my store doesn't have much else in the way of keto products...but they have this.
I've also used these as a topping on cheesecake.
I just found this video…a day after I made my own organic blueberry chia seed jam…if my toddler doesn’t love it…I’ll have to try what you suggest! Thanks again for all your content!
Hahaha! I loved the taste test, fun! & thank you so much for the informative video.
Thank you Bobby
for all your help.
I'm using that exact St. Dalfour spread surprisingly. Yes it's added sugar is high, but its amazing on the Canyon Bakehouse bread, toasted straight from the freezer.
I make homemade jam with our organic strawberries & use local honey.. usually a recipe calls for 7 cups of sugar. I use half that in honey. Tastes wonderful. You get half the quantity but all the quality.
Bobby thank you so much for doing this. You are really helping me out. 😀👍 Where did you get that bread.
I was so happy to see you did this video. I was just thinking I wonder if there’s a healthy jam or jelly. Have you tried the spreads from thrive market?
Congrats on the 1M subscribers 👏👐
Now, do you have a video in which you discuss salad dressings?
I just had some of that Laird's mint chocolate this morning! Yum!! And Art's not the only one that preferred peanut butter only sandwiches as a kid! Me too! I always felt like the weird kid, but that's how I liked them!
I liked peanut butter and honey 😁
I like when you said pick your poison, because I was personally convinced that there was no safe jam in relation to additives and specially sugar and you were right about home recipe as a best choice which I am still looking for one . Nice job and Thank you for your efforts 👍
This is a best for you video sometimes people are looking for the best tasting
I actually had the Welch jam in my apartment. After watching this video, I am throwing it out. Thank you for making these video's and helping me through my food transformation journey!
Wow Bobby. What a mess with lots of those.. thanks for doing the research and videos for us. Key item, read the labels. Glad to see the team back. Art and Bobby shop haul
Yessss
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! :-)
This was great info!!! Thank you once again!!
I swear you are a mind reader. All week long I told my boyfriend “I want to find a healthy jam or jelly. I hope Bobby makes a vid soon.” Boom here it is!
Naturally:)Shani SAME
Fast manifester 💓
Please mention that XYLITOL is extremely bad for dogs. Could be deadly to them!
So grateful for this one!!
He read my mind on the nut butter video too!
A few video requests:
•Condiment staples
•Ingredients we should NEVER have in our kitchen (maybe not a video but a list we can either download or screenshot to take to the grocery store)
•Easy summer lunches for kids and easy snacks for kids or homemade snack boxes for kids (single mom w/11 year old who likes his snacks)
• Travel snacks- Road trips or vacations
• Healthy(ish) Cocktails ;)
Seems like he heard your request.
I would like to see a video on best sugar substitute for baking. I looked at stevia today and they all have an added ingredient I wasn't familiar with. Thank you😊😊
Thanks for the video Bobby and Art, congrats on 1 million.
Note: I love crofters
Yes I bought the Lairds creamer and instafuel and they are great, Thanks.
Being from Russia my parents always made their own jams, usually with regular sugar and nothing else. I have been making with monk fruit sweetener which is not as sweet but I don’t mind it as I don’t like sweets that much. It is however is nice with evening tea which is very Russian, lol
I make my own preserves and using monkfruit has worked really well for me.
Excellent thanks Bobby! I use the Good Good Apricot Jam because I can buy online in Scotland 💖
Bobby enjoy watching your channel , and still learning
I know it's disgusting. Can you believe so many ingredients are banned in so many countries yet not banned in USA.
I am approaching 70 years of age. I used to help my mom can her foods and jam, jelly and preserves.
Honestly speaking, I have never seen her use any sugars.
Thank you for letting us know about Splenda and other bad things that they put in some jams and jellies that are sugar-free💕💕
Great video Bobby, just bought 2 items from Laird to try them out. Have a great day! Wanted to try out the Good Good jelly but wow almost $10 for 12 oz strawberry jelly, a little out of my price range.
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 :)
Thanks guys! Been watching your videos and learning so much. One thing, Bonne Maman is pronounced like Bone Ma-mon . It means Good Mother in French.
Definitely not "ma-mon"
Excelent video now I know what to buy I love 😘 thanks a million you guys.
Loved this video! I accidently found a jam that would be approved😊 I had organic cranberrys in bags left over from holiday so it was used to create jam. Boil, save filtered water, press add Stevie and place into sealed jar. It was solid so it was placed into boiling water then removed and placed onto keto toast or scone, FABULOUS accident.
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.
I was just at Target today and passed the jams and wondered which is best. Since finding your videos, I am addicted and can't get enough! I decided to wait to "see what Bobby recommends." Really trying to eat healthier as my husband and I are both middle aged+. Loved your video on the bottled drink review when Art got that "chunker". You're daughter stole the show! She is so adorable! God Bless!
Bobby, mix fruit, water, sugar free pectin and stevia. I don’t remember how much of what 🤗 but people make sugar-free jams and jellies all the time. I sure do love watching you and your good information. Thank you!!!
Thanks as always for the nutritional tips. God bless.
I was hoping to see ALL FRUIT or SIMPLY FRUIT brands to see how they measure up. Guess I need to read the labels! Thanks for all you do to inform and encourage us! I have been using Crazy Richards PB and SIMPLY FRUIT lately (Walmart). Their pickup service substituted the palm oil PB once, and I was NOT HAPPY!
Thanks for the vids about bread, pb jellies and jams. I'm a morning coffee, toast with pb and jelly guy. I've gained too much weight during the covid-19 threat and on top of that I'm a senior with knee arthritis and a bad back. I'm trying to eat sensibly to keep the extra pounds down. Thanks for your guidance.
Great vocab in this video - "Goober" PB and "functional mushrooms"!
congrats and thank you for the all information you have given me.
Hey .. I luv it !, thanks for the info Moniee-Mon is listening 🤔💞
When I made jelly in France, even when the strawberries were sweet, I always added a touch of sugar to taste. When the fruit was not very sweet, add more sugar. Those were the days before sugar substitutes.
Yay! So excited for you! 😀 congrats 🎈🎉 Me: sees jam and drops at home work to watch.
I want to thank you for helping me out with everything you come on teaching us food sugar dessert you are a blessing you are your wife and your baby girl precious you are awesome I love your SpanishAnd happy Father’s Day to your wife
Even though I know it's not organic my favorite is still Bonne Maman - the French strawberry preserves. I used organic fruit juice sweetened spreads for years but I really missed actual preserves with chunks of fruit that the spreads just don't have.
I love it too.
Your videos are my jam!
Thanks for the great info as always, been following your channel for a couple years now and been subscribed I'm diabetic and you saved my life so appreciated, I like to cut fresh strawberries and put them on sourdough toast and let the peanut butter hold them in place since it was hard to find a good jelly thanks😊😊
Thank you so much for this knowledge dump - looks like we shop the same TJ's in Chicago 🙌🏽
