Advantages: Its cheap but not worth it still

Disadvantages: Its like eating pink dyed sugar sauce and its foul

Whilst I was doing an online shop at Tesco a month ago I decided I wanted to purchase some more cupboard items to try and stop me nipping out to the shops and just buying junk when hungry, with items such as jam in my cupboards I can have an interesting snack.

So whilst I was on this vibe I clicked the jam into my basket.

A couple of weeks ago I fancied some toast and thought I would open the jam to make it a bit tastier.

The jar comes in a 454g size so you get a good amount and the use by date was Feb 2011 so nearly 2 years before it starts to go off!

When I opened it I was expecting a strong scent of strawberry to hit my nostrils but even when taking a deep breathe in its hard to get a pleasant smell from it, in fact it smells a tad chemical to me.

I went to spread it on my toast and this proved too be a bit of a struggle, it didn't spread easily and I thought I would tear the bread in trying to do so.

So then I took a bit and all I could taste was sugar, it was like I had poured a spoonful on my bread and I wasn't impressed but being hungry and too lazy to eat any more I ate the toast.

It left a nasty taste in my mouth afterwards as well.

On checking the jar now to write this review I can see why it tasted so much of sugar is there is 9.1g of sugar per tablespoon of Jam which is 10 of your RDA and in total out of the 454g in the jar over half of its contents is just sugar.

Now I am not an expert on jams so this may be normal but I have had other branded strawberry jams and they actually tasted of strawberry and wasn't just like licking sugar off a spoon.

I won't be buying this again and its probably just going to sit in my cupboard until I move house and throw it away!

If you do love sugar but aren't keen on licking the sugar bowl and therefore want to try this its currently 92p at Tesco.

Summary: Yuck!
