You can make your own using gelatine or vegigel with pureed frozen berries.
I usually add sour berries like redcurrants, jostaberries, sour cherries to the jelly so it takes the sweetness down.
I think perhaps you misunderstand me. I could still very easily eat the sweetest of sweet things and enjoy it. I am a recovering sugar junky and could go back to that very easily, so I would never say anything was too sweet for me in the sense that I would not enjoy it, but changing my diet has helped me to find sweetness in things that are more sour and also enjoy savoury and bitterness as flavours more too. However I am concerned that sweeteners are not good for us either, so cutting out the sugar free jelly and Nature Valley protein bars etc. is my way of reducing my intake of sweeteners and highly processed foods. It has been a slow and steady progression away from these foods but they served a purpose in the early days after diagnosis when I had to quit the sugar. I suppose it's a bit like a smoker using vaping to quit smoking, I used those things and sugar free sweets like Sula etc to help wean me of sugar but I don't believe they are actually any better for me and I need to quit them too and in some respects, I am now thinking a bit of real sweetness from a sweet fruit (the odd dried fig, prune or apricot) may be a better option. This is only my option at the moment and it could change again, but I genuinely feel that we are putting too many chemicals into our bodies instead of real food and it worries me that we encourage people to use these sugar free jelly crystals and Nature Valley Protein bars etc., even though I used them myself, I think maybe they should be considered a short term fix like vaping rather than a lifelong change.
