I was so excited to get this pineapple jelly (not a jam or preserves). I am from the Deep South myself I thought coming from Tennessee it probably was reallyyyyy good. :) Unfortunately, there is little to no pineapple flavor that I can detect at all. It IS very sweet. But if there was pineapple included it was definitely NOT fresh pineapple. Canned pineapple would be tasteless if used to make jelly — so I think this is probably the case. The shipping costs were outrageous so if fresh pineapple isn’t used to make it I think it should be noted in the online listing. Definitely not worth the cost. I hope the flavors I bought are better. Fingers crossed
