Homemade Jam

Anyone else not a fan of sugar?

PB&J is one of my all time favorite snacks but it is really challenging to find jellies or jams that aren't total junk. The other day I was shopping and I saw one with a label that said, "75% real fruit"...umm excuse me... what is the other 25%??? So I came up with a quick 10 minute recipe made with 100% REAL INGREDIENTS for all you fellow PB&J lovers!
