- Smucker’s Reduced Sugar Concord Grape Jelly
Smucker’s
This Smucker’s product is certainly more like jelly than not — and it’s tasty! Smucker’s Reduced Sugar Concord Grape Jelly is one of the company’s numerous grape jelly products, but it has 50% less sugar than the standard and fewer calories. Specifically, one tablespoon counts 25 calories and 6 grams of sugar. It tastes quite similar to the standard Smucker’s jelly, though naturally, a bit less sweet being a low-sugar option.
If not for the many other delicious jellies we still have to get through, we would recommend this to almost everyone. If you are looking for a healthier jelly with less sugar and real fruit juice, then this jelly option is the one for you. However, some of the reviews from Smucker’s website note that before the grape jelly reached its expiration date, the product had gone moldy and become inedible. Since it contains less sugar, proper refrigeration is key.
- Smuckers Concord Grape Jelly
Smucker’s
While some of its other products left us wanting more, Smucker’s Concord Grape Jelly shows that the company can create a favorable grape spread, not just a syrup. This iconic jelly is made with only a few ingredients, namely Concord grape juice, and it proves that simplicity can be delicious. The sweet flavor is pleasant and makes a great match for a peanut butter sandwich or served with cheese on a charcuterie board. The texture is solid and easily spreadable. The product is also described as being Kosher Pareve, which is a Hebrew term meaning without dairy or meat (via Chabad).
While we enjoyed this Smucker’s Grape Jelly, consumer reviews are somewhat divided. Some customers on the Smucker’s website feel that the jelly is “too sweet,” while others cannot seem to pinpoint a flavor beneath the sugar. Regardless, if you are in a rush and the only grape jam you can find on the shelves is Smucker’s Concord Grape Jelly, it wouldn’t be the worst spread you’ve ever had and it would easily make a decent PB&J sandwich.

If you’re looking for good spreadable grape jelly at a low price, Aldi grocery stores have the perfect option in stock. Aldi’s Berryhill Grape Jelly is made with Concord grapes, and the flavor is great in foods and drinks. Our next favorite feature is the affordable price: You can get 30 ounces of this grape jelly for less than $2. That’s one of the cheapest prices for a grape jelly on this entire list, ensuring affordable PB&J’s for everyone.
However, just because it’s cheap, does it follow that it also tastes good? In fact, it does! This jelly comes in an inky purple color and it is just as sweet and firm as other jellies on this list. Pair it with a crispy slice of toast and you’re set. If you’re looking for an inexpensive and tasty jelly, head to Aldi’s right now and pick up a jar or two of this one.
- Walmart’s Great Value Concord Grape Jelly

Aside from being affordable, it also tastes great. This jelly is sweet with an obvious grape flavor and a high rating online.

6. Trader Joe’s Organic Concord Grape Jelly
Keep in mind that this list consists of numerous delicious sweet jellies, and it’s not easy to pick out favorites. So just because Trader Joe’s isn’t at the top of the list, it doesn’t mean that it isn’t great. A common issue with the product is not related to the jelly’s flavor but to the price. Online, the price for a single jar is $12.50 in part due to the organic certification. Compared to the other jellies on this list, it comes out a bit pricey for a small jar. For these reasons, Trader Joe’s Organic Concord Grape Jelly isn’t quite at the top of the list.
