propoints - tinned fruit

[not_lar_croft]

I know that most fruits are free of points but does that include tinned fruit such as manderines in light juice? or other tinned fruit in light juice?

I have just worked out that half a can of tesco quartered pears in juice is 2 pp and half a can of chunks of pineapple in juice is 3pp, think i will stick with fresh fruit so not using my points.

Fruit in pure juice is free wen u drain it. Hope ths helps

My mistake, looked at half a tin value which is 205g but whole tin drained is 210g, confused myself.

Kelly, tinned fruit in juice (drained) is 0points so cn munch on tht no probs.
Hope ths helps u

Thank you, new to the pro points and trying to work everything out but that is helpful as have loads of tinned fruit in cupboard that I thought I would not eat.

That's exactly what I do...make my sugar free jelly and tip a drained tin of fruit cocktail in juice into it! Yum As I'm not a massive fan of jelly on it's own!
