Points to Consider:
This also gives them more texture and flavor variance, if that’s something you appreciate. That being said, jams and preserves aren’t automatically healthier as they can also include artificial ingredients and excess sugar.
If you're looking for a healthy option, look for lower amounts of sugar, less additives, and more fruit (more on that below).
Society has come pretty far in terms of creating the best flavors for our food, but that doesn't mean they're always high-quality or good for us. Here are some things you should look out for in your jelly.
On the other hand, most other fruits will likely require added pectin. In the healthiest jellies, pectin should be the only added gelling agent, so try to avoid other stabilizers, gums, and additives.
For reference, the daily amount of added sugar intake recommended by the American Heart Association is 36 grams of sugar for men and 25 grams for women. If you go any higher than 8 grams per serving, that can be up to a third of your daily limit!
Most jellies will be vegan or gluten-free since they're naturally free of both animal products and gluten, but if you want to be 100% sure, look for official certification on the label or the company's website as well.
One of my favorite healthy swaps is, instead of using jelly or jam, mashing some raspberries up and topping peanut butter with the fresh raspberries. It's such a yummy treat and an easy way to cut down on sugar.
Another easy swap you can do is by just topping your toast with fresh fruit to add some sweetness. It's easy, healthier, and a fun way to switch your peanut butter sandwich up. Try banana slices, strawberry slices, blueberries, or your favorite fruit!
If you're up for trying your hand at making your own jams and jellies, you'll likely be needing gelatin as a thickener. Maria Fernanda of @purely_healthy_living recommends Aspen Naturals' grass-fed option—it's also great if you're on a keto diet!

Jelly's great and all, but what about all the other great condiments out there? Here are some of our favorite picks.
While most healthy jellies often still contain a fair amount of sugar, it’s pretty easy to find options that cut out the rest of the junk. So as long as you keep an eye on your serving size, jelly can, in fact, be a healthy food. We hope we've given you some ideas of what to look for next time you shop!
