10 Best Strawberry Jams | UK Nutritionist Reviewed

It's pretty obvious why this is our favourite product, as even the Queen herself adores this recipe. This is the only jam in the world made from the rare, wild strawberry species 'Little Scarlet', which makes this an even more extraordinary spread.

With the entire jar filled with the pulp of this wonder-berry, even a small amount will bring an intense flavour sensation to your taste buds. We highly recommend serving this jam with Cornish clotted cream on freshly baked scones, just like the Queen would do. 

Many people believe that you can feel the passion of a person through their cooking, and indeed, Thursday Cottage perfectly proves that notion. Made from the simplest ingredients, the sweetness of the organic strawberries is truly noticeable and truly divine.

Once you've learnt that this jam is only made in small batches right here in the UK, you'll soon understand how it earns its seal of quality. The effort and passion are simply phenomenal. You'll never get enough of this jam!

There's a reason why this came third on our list: it's a very affordable jam that satisfies your sweet tooth just at the right spot and contains whole strawberries as well. This might sound just like an ordinary strawberry conserve, but it's one of those things that reminds us happiness can be as simple as enjoying a classic jam in the morning.

This product is also perfect for those who prefer sugar over stevia but are looking for a reduced sugar option – it's essentially a 'real' jam using 'real' sugars, yet it's also healthier with lower calories. 

This punchy jam is made by a couple from Yorkshire, who only produce their product with locally-sourced, in-season fruit to make sure you experience the flavours of the strawberries at their very best.

What's more, this 56% fruit conserve has been crowned the winner in Deliciously Yorkshire Awards' 'best jam' category. It's also incredibly cheap compared to other commercial brands (or even other local artisan brands) so there really is no reason not to give this one a try! 

While many supermarket own brands fill their jam jars with strawberry puree and glucose syrup, Tesco's Finest conserve sticks to the real thing. With 55 grams of fruit per 100 grams, it has a good amount of chunky strawberry pieces and a thick, rich texture that's well-set. 

All of this, alongside the reasonable price, lends this jam well to be used as a sponge cake or Swiss roll filling. Previous tasters also praise its homemade taste and balanced sweetness, especially when paired with cream on a freshly-baked scone. Yum! 

A perfect product for those trying to avoid artificial sugar, this is the only jam on the list that uses concentrated fruit juices for sweetness. With its gourmet taste, you wouldn't even know that pineapple, grape and date juices are used without checking the label!

On the downside, it does offer fewer servings for the same price as other brands. Plus, the rather unique design makes it difficult to scoop up the jam halfway through the jar, which can be frustrating when you're trying to get the last bits out or you're in need of a speedy breakfast. 

Next up, a jam that consists of 75 g of real strawberries per 100 g, so you could say you're practically eating the fruit itself! This tasty spread is full of distinctive fruit pieces and is made from only three real ingredients: strawberries, sugar and lemon juice. 

Some might be hesitant about buying this Amazon-brand jam as it's relatively pricey compared to most on the market, but with over a thousand positive reviews, it's hard not to want to give it a go. Plus, the price is for over a kilo of strawberry jam, which sounds like a heavenly deal to us! 

With 30% less sugar used, this jam is relatively low in calories while satisfying your taste buds with an intense strawberry flavour. You'll also be glad to hear that blackcurrant juice is used as well as sugar to sweeten the jam, so you know you're consuming at least some natural sugar! 

Advantageous though this is, if you have refined taste buds you might not be as enamoured by the slight hint of blackcurrant in your strawberry jam, especially if you're looking to use it for specific recipes. 

You'll be glad to hear this budget-friendly jam not only tastes delightful and fruity, but it also contains the most servings, proving that just because you're on a limited budget, you don't have to forego quality. 

However, it's worth noting that this jam also contains the highest number of calories at 318 per 100 g. So, unless you're not bothered about counting calories, you might want to be slightly more cautious about how many servings you slather on your toast. 

If you're concerned about your sugar and calorie intake, this is the jam you've been looking for! With only 22 calories and 3.9 g of sugar per 100 g, you can have as much as you want without feeling guilty, all while enjoying its delicious sweetness.

While this may sound like the 'dream jam', it does have a relatively thin consistency that might put some people off. Also, one of the sweeteners used, erythritol, can have adverse effects for those with a more sensitive stomach when a large amount is consumed in one go.
