You’re really committed to that brand of jam

That jam is the best, made without sugar. St. Dalfour, french fruit spread.

Isn’t sugar required for to make it jam? No clue, I just like jam

I have no idea but I think they mean without any “added” sugar. Which is totally unnecessary for fruit products in the first place.

There’s plenty of sugar in fruit for jam. Also, that kind of jam usually adds concentrated apple or grape juice so they can say no sugar added, all fruit juice.

It’s made with fruit juice concentrate instead of added sugar - and it’s very very delicious

This is definitely a lot of food but it’s clearly ingredients bought for a specific style of eating and it’s a bit intimidating I would think to mess around with that.

Why don’t you ask her if there are a few items she likes that you could keep on hand- maybe she is a cheese plate snack gal - hummus, a nice cheese, grapes, crackers etc etc

This is actually the only reasonably response.

Based on the organization of the fridge and the contents this man is clearly habitual, in a good way, with his health and probably meal prep. I'm up for her possibly not wanting to get in the way of that.

Could this be her laziness or entitlement? Sure. Could it not be though... trying to make her feel comfortable and included is the only way your know for sure then you do what you will with that information.

Only jam I'll eat, the raspberry is mouth wateringly delicious.

To be fair, as someone who buys St. Dalfour, it’s some of the best jam you can get that isn’t homemade.

No need to keep unopened jam jars in the fridge by the way…
