Nutritional Value of Jam?

[Eigon]

I recently read a book called First Catch Your Eland, by Laurens van der Post. He grew up on a Boer farm in South Africa when they had no choice but to be self sufficient, and he describes them making jam in industrial quantities over the summer to tide them over the winter. Apparently Africaaner cookery is still very jam oriented.
It's a fascinating book generally, by the way - Laurens van der Post travelled all over Africa for years, and he describes food from all the different cultures he came across.

...I agree with Stoney here, yes there is sugar, but all things in moderation. and its no problem

(if only I could get the hang of moderation)

I heard a few weeks ago

'All things in moderation, even moderation'

I like that

That's my great-great-aunt's motto. She just celebrated her 102nd birthday a few weeks ago, and she walks better than I do!

So long as my appetite is more moderate than my temperament, that will do.

Or is it the other way around...
