Fruit jam

Energy: ~250–280 kcal / 100 g (typical) (planning figure - the product label is the final reference)
How this figure was derived
- Read from
- ~250–280 kcal / 100 g (typical)
- Energy density
- 250–280 kcal / 100 g
- Basis
- Per 100 g — a weight. Applying it to a volume would be wrong.
- Example, at 30 g
- 250–280 kcal / 100 g × 30 g ÷ 100 = ≈ 75–84 kcal
A planning figure, not a laboratory analysis. It is here so a recipe can be reasoned about, not so it can be declared on a menu.
Shelf life: Sealed: long, per label. Opened: refrigerate and use within weeks; one mould spot condemns the whole jar.
Storage: Refrigerate after opening; one clean dry spoon per dip — crumbs and double-dipping seed mould.
- Jam tea: a spoon of berry jam melted into hot black tea
- Swirls for milkshakes and yogurt smoothies
- A sweet-fruit layer in frappés
Mostly sugar (~60% and up) — treat a spoon of jam exactly like a pump of syrup against the WHO added-sugar ceiling.
