This discussion made me curious so I looked up Smuckers Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 01/11/2011 04:07:45 PM
If you're looking at home-made preserves vs. honey, they probably are pretty damned similar.

I also do tend to use a lot less honey than I use jam.


...as an example of a mass-market range of options (since I'm near Orrville, they're a pretty popular choice). Their jam/jelly/preserves all have in the neighborhood of 50-60 cals per tablespoon, which is around where honey is if I'm not mistaken. The exception is their low sugar line which has around half that. I was surprised because my initial assumption would have been the same as yours.

I've never made a PB&H but I'd assume the honey would go a longer way than a fruit spread, so I do assume there'd be a calorie savings there. I don't know though. And honey certainly wins as the more natural, minimally processed choice that's cheap and easy to obtain.
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

Peanut butter and jelly is awesome, but I can see it being weird to an outsider beetnemesis - 01/11/2011 01:57:37 AM 425 Views

Allow me to elucidate. Ghavrel - 01/11/2011 11:57:34 AM 324 Views

Poor widdle roos. *sniffle* Joel - 01/11/2011 02:37:24 AM 622 Views
There's a very simple reason for that, really Colonel Logain - 01/11/2011 03:16:18 AM 464 Views
I have heard it is an acquired taste, often difficult to acquire. Joel - 01/11/2011 08:02:36 AM 464 Views
For me, it was the fact that what Australians know as "jelly" isn't a sandwich filling Colonel Logain - 01/11/2011 08:10:05 AM 403 Views
I can see that, though I think I would still prefer whole milk. Joel - 01/11/2011 02:03:47 AM 428 Views
lol plainly you have NO idea how many calories are in jam LadyLorraine - 01/11/2011 02:27:32 AM 369 Views
No, but apparently I over estimated how many are in honey. Joel - 01/11/2011 02:46:16 AM 413 Views
I'm curious. Is that because you assume you'd use less honey than fruit spread? Sareitha Sedai - 01/11/2011 03:20:21 PM 297 Views
well, most jelly/jam people use does have tons of (bad) added sugar, for one LadyLorraine - 01/11/2011 03:50:47 PM 378 Views
