Node.js JSON.stringify() causing " in output. Can't parse with Jquery

I am using Node.js (with Express.js) to pass a JSON data object from the server to the client view.

When I render the JSON object directly to the view I get the JSON object shown on the page as expected (this WORKS):

pageprovider.findAllTag( function(error, pages){
    res.send(pages);
})

And my output looks like this (much bigger, many nested obj)

{"green":{"title":"green","pagesContaining": ""}}

When I try to pass it to my Jade View like this:

pageprovider.findAllTag( function(error, tagsJSONObj){
        //res.send(pages);

    pageprovider.findAll( function(error, pages){
        res.render('search_tags.jade', { locals: {
            title: 'Search by Tags',
            'pages': pages,
            tagsJSON: JSON.stringify(tagsJSONObj) //pass the tags data as a JSON obj
            }
        });
    }) //pageprovider.findAll
}) //pageprovider.findAllTag

The problem
When I pass 'tagsJSON' to the view, the output includes the html entities:

var obj = jQuery.parseJSON( "{"name": 'value'}");

JQuery throws an error because it doesn't like '"'. How can I get Node to give me the proper quote, or get jQuery to accept this format?

Any thoughts?
