SUGAR FREE OR REGULAR...
I just read about some sugar free foods to avoid and found this helpful!
JAM OR JELLY: 
Skip: Regular
Pick: Fruit
Because they are lower in calories and sugar, sugar-free fruit preserves can be a good product for someone trying to lose weight or is diabetic.  Pick jams that have fruit as the first ingredient on the list.  Better yet? Use fresh fruit in place of jelly. Using sliced fruit provides natural sweetness plus fiber and more natural nutrition than a processed and preserved jelly product.
Bob found a wonderful brand at Costco!  E.D. Smith.  My flavor of choice these days is the Michigan Cherry.  1 tbsp is 25 calories, total fat 0, sodium 0, carbs 6g, sugars 6g. and the first ingredient is Michigan sour cherries!  The peach, mango and orange is also pretty damn good!
