preserves

[barbaraann]

1. Lemon curd.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. I gave up on them

Too much sugar/carbs, too $$. I gave up syrup too, except an occasional real maple. But I do use honey. It's supposed to have heart benefits, some kind of slippery lube or something. I must be losing it, I'm going vague.

3. Whatever is around is fine, except grape. I hate grape.

But I seldom eat jams and jellies, too much sugar. If I had to choose, maybe raspberry.

[Kennah]

4. Jam. Any jam. But blackberry would be my first choice.

[LakeArenal]

5. I go in phases. But generally orange marmalade.

[we can do it]

6. Strawberry, raspberry and apple butter.

[Walleye]

7. Orange marmalade, peach butter

[zeusdogmom]

8. Blackberry - homemade by me from blackberries I grew

Even better if a good dose of Chambord liquor is added. That addition is nice in blueberry jam, too.

I use Pomona pectin which allows me to make jam with very little sugar thus allowing the fresh taste of the fruit to shine.

9. Apricot preserves.

My mom made peanut butter and apricot jam Sammys for grade school lunch. Still love them

[House of Roberts]

10. Welch's grape for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Strawberry jelly for butter biscuits.

[WheelWalker]

11. Orange Marmy

[50 Shades Of Blue]

12. Tie among strawberry preserves, apple butter, and currant jelly.

One of my favorite meals in the world is an English cream tea - scones with double cream (which to anyone who hasn't had it, kinda reminded me of a cross between whipped cream and whipped butter) and strawberry preserves, served with a pot of piping hot tea. Heaven!

13. Raspberry preserves... but the others are also good.

[ShepKat]

14. schmushed fruit in it's own juice

cooked slightly - of course, store bought has hardly any juice so I have to wait for my seasonal berries to ripen

[Sneederbunk]

15. Marionberry.

[Elessar Zappa]

16. I like a four fruit blend.

Strawberry, blueberry, boysenberry, and raspberry. I can’t think what the brand is though. I also love a good apple butter.

[GPV]

17. Strawberry marmalade

[AnnaLee]

18. Pineapple, fig, then blackberry or raspberry.

Pineapple and fig were always available when I was a kid. Found some designer fig a few months ago but I don't think Pineapple is available anymore. Of the readily available, I chose blackberry or raspberry.

19. Does chutney count?

My aunt used to make chutney; now I get it from a local farmer. Love it on ham, roast beef, etc. Sometimes, I just mix it in recipes. A co-worker once gave me home made hot pepper jelly. That was delish! I found a box of different flavor sample size bottles at a craft fair. Peach hot pepper jelly, etc.

21. Damn straight chutney counts! Forgot about mango chutney!

[debm55]

22. Yes, forgot to put it down along with marmalade

[marble falls]

20. Blackberry preserves. Cherry Preserves. Blueberry preserves. Hand picked small wild strawberry...

... preserves. Gooseberry preserves. Quince preserves. Real orange marmalade made with Seville oranges - hard to find but worth it - check with fruit wholesalers. Fruit preserves are my sweets of choice on my toasted homemade bread.

23. Apricot preserves, but cherry preserves are thisclose to favorite. 🍒

I made cherry preserves when cherries went on sale under 2 dollars here. Yum.
I used to make apple butter every fall, but not during 30-some years in FloraBama. Too dang hot to can anything. The heat and humidity lead to stupor if not stupidity.

🍎🍏It’s coming on apple picking time in the mountains of North Carolina now. 🍏🍎
I’ll eat one a day to keep the doctor away and another one or more just because they are so good.
Then I’ll make apple butter and applesauce, DH Happy will make apple pies, daughter will dry some still chewy and some crisp apple chips. Apple-Palooza!

You’ve done it again, Debbie.
Stirred up some lovely memories and left me smiling in apple reveries. 🕊🩵tcw

24. When I can find it-

Boysenberry !!!

[yellowdogintexas]

25. preserves, especially plum and damsen plum

My aunt had a damsen plum tree and made fabulous preserves and jelly

Other favorites: peach strawberry & apricot. My great grandmother made pear and apple preserves. She used the seeds and peelings and a few of the fruits for jelly. The preserves have the fruit in large chunks or slices and float in a tremendously heavy syrup.

I hated blackberry jam & preserves growing up because I had braces and those damn seeds were a nightmare. I loved the taste, so if we got a big batch of them my mom would strain some of them for jelly..

Best use for blackberry jam is a Kentucky Jam Cake. Lots of those good baking spices with the jam providing part of the moisture as well as taste. We always had it at Christmas.

I prefer strawberry or peach preserves instead of syrup on pancakes or french toast
