I’d say it has. I rarely buy it because I make my own, but we had some at work a couple of days ago and I thought exactly the same thing. It checked the ingredients, it’s down to 40% fruit, and had a mysterious “gelling agent” added as well as pectin. It was ok, but the texture was more like a gelatin based jelly. Shrinkflation where they reduce the quality instead of the pack size.
Yes. Thank you for the validation. I remember flavoured yogurt too being pourable. Now it’s “thick and creamy” which is a lie. It’s thickened with shit and it tastes like shit. I’m becoming one of those people back in my day….
To be jam it has to have a very high percentage of sugars so 40% sounds about right. When I make it I use 35% fruit, 35% sugar and the rest is water ( which gets boiled down ) So the end product is slightly more sugar than fruit.
It’s been a long long time since I’ve made jam but I remember fruit, sugar, grated apple, lemon juice and water. I can not remember the quantities though.
