It is with a heavy heart that I write this review. I purchased this fruit spread at my local Stop & Shop for $2.99 a jar a few months back. (I don't think they have it now.)
I was excited.
No carbs, sugar free, calorie free.
Verdict? It was inedible in my opinion. And I wasn't alone. My son refused to eat his peanut butter and jelly when I made it with this product. The consistency was.... not like jelly and not like vaseline, more like fat globules that roll around.
Both of us love the Keto jelly, but Keto has gone out of business, although the Keto jelly is still available at netrition for who knows how long.
One version of Pollaner All Fruit is sweetened with Splenda, and it is on my Everyday Low Carb Shopping List. It is available at some grocery chains like Stop & Shop. I don't eat the Smucker's because it is sweetened with aspartame.

You should try the strawberry or the raspberry flavor of Walden Farms. They are the only ones that I like. The apple butter flavor sells pretty well in my store also. Steels Jams are my personal favorite though. They've got two different kinds with two different sweeteners. One with Splenda and one with Lo Han.

Funny I really like the Walden's jelly and didn't like Keto. Just goes to show our tastebuds are all different.

I love the Smucker's no sugar added. It's 5 carbs but tastes like the real deal.

I had exactly the opposite experience. I love the stuff. I have trouble finding it here in Atlanta, so I buy several jars everytime I see it.
My favorite flavors are grape and raspberry.
