organic jam as a fruit substitute

[jdog2050]

Hey guys,

I'm looking into making a cherry/chocolate or cranberry/chocolate stout. I'm in South Korea so those two fruits are quite hard to get fresh.

I've managed to find some organic jams where the only preservative is citric acid. Has anyone ever used organic jam to brew? How did it turn out?

Haven't used them, but with just citric acid as a preservative, they should work just fine. Add them in the secondary and plan on having some extra trub to filter out before bottling. Jams are mostly made from whole fruit.
