Simply Nature Organic Strawberry Preserves 11 oz

Simply Nature Organic Concord Grape Jelly in the 12 oz (340g) jar is a USDA Certified Organic spread from Aldi. Unlike conventional jellies that rely on high fructose corn syrup, this version uses organic fruit juice and organic cane sugar to achieve its classic flavor and clear, smooth consistency.

Flavor & Texture Profile

• Pure Concord Grape Taste: Features the deep, slightly tart, and floral notes of organic Concord grapes, providing a nostalgic flavor profile.

• Seedless & Smooth: Double-filtered to remove all fruit solids, skins, and seeds, resulting in a perfectly clear and translucent jelly.

• Firm "Jelly" Set: Uses natural fruit pectin to create a stable, gelatinous texture that holds its shape but spreads easily onto bread or crackers.

• Clean Sweetness: Sweetened with organic cane sugar, which provides a crisp finish compared to the heavier mouthfeel of corn-syrup-based jellies.

Core Ingredients

• Organic Concord Grape Juice: Made from organic concentrate for a consistent and robust grape flavor.

   

• Organic Cane Sugar: The primary sweetener and preservative.

• Fruit Pectin: A plant-derived thickener that gives the jelly its signature "jiggle."

   

• Citric Acid: A natural acidifier used to balance the sweetness and help the jelly set.

• Sodium Citrate: A pH buffer that ensures the pectin creates a uniform texture in every batch.
