: My supermarkets (Stop and Shop and Shoprite) regularly carry Polaner and
: Smuckers jams sweetened with Splenda. (Smuckers also has some
: stevia-sweetened jams.) In addition, the Stop and SHop store brand also
: has some Splenda-sweetened jams. I regularly get strawberry, peach,
: apricot, seedless blackberry, raspberry, orange marmalade, and blueberry.

I have used the Smuckers, but don't find them great. This one, the
Apricot Polaners sugar-Free(as opposed to the fruit-juice spreads), has a
nice texture adn flavor wit a sense of havign fruit in it which the
smuckers seem to have fairly little of. As I said, I usually make my own
jam form , now , mostly blueberries as I don't get to the country erliy
enough to get the local strawberries and my wild raspberry and blackberry
bushes seem to have been displaced by assorted other weeds, so I can't
pick enough. The Smuckers is more like jelly than jam, without pieces of
fruit in them, shile mne are very fruity.
