Advantages: Good taste

Disadvantages: Too thin consistency

What is better on a bit of toast than a fruity sweet conserve? Sainsbury's Raspberry Conserve retails in Sainsbury's only at £1.20 for 340g. It comes in a clear glass jar, with a black lid, and a fairly plain wrapper.

The conserve itself is a lovely deep red colour, and does have some fruity pieces. It is quite fruity tasting, but not overwhelmingly sweet.

The ingredients are:
Glucose-fructose Syrup, Raspberries, Sugar, Gelling Agent (pectin, Citric Acid), Acidity Regulator (sodium Citrates.).
It is prepared with 55g of fruit per 100g, and 62g sugar per 100g.

Unfortunatley I was not completely satisfied with this product. The consistency is quite thin, which is a bit disappointing, as it makes the conserve a bit runny, and in the end you do end up using more than you should. I compare it to other brands I hav tried, and for me this one was just not the best.

Summary: Good taste, but just not the best I've tried.
