Oh yum. I see they have a ginger spread, now, too.

[debm55]

64. Thank you CrispyQ. and thanks for the link. sounds wounderful.

[Mme. Defarge]

21. Huckleberry jam.

Wonderful memory of picking huckleberries with my mom on the Long Beach peninsula. Awful to clean but the pie she made was sublime. Sadly, she never taught me to make pie but I always think of her when I eat my morning toast with huckleberry jam.

[debm55]

66. I went to North Dakota.All sweets had huckleberries in them. I even bought myself PJs with a bear eating huckleberries.

[Niagara]

22. Way, way, way, way back in the day....

It was Apple Butter.


Today, I don't consume too much jelly/preserves. Every once in awhile I'll measure out a small amount grape jelly and mix it in a bowl with a small amount of peanut butter just because I need it and I deserve to indulge once in awhile.

[debm55]

67. Good for you Niagara. Way to go.

These posts are so fun! Now I'm off, to have a tooth removed, ugh.

Have a super sweet day!

[debm55]

82. thank you FullySupportDems. You take care sweety

[arkielib]

31. Red plum jelly

I've loved it since I was a child. We had two plum trees in our backyard, and my mother made plum jelly every year. It was wonderful! Unfortunately the trees got old and died many years ago. The store bought variety is very good, but not as good as hers was.

[debm55]

83. Thank you arkielib. That's because her's had something special--love.

[WhiteTara]

[pandr32]

34. I have four favorites.

Raspberry spread, mango jam, pear and ginger jam, and orange marmalade.
I make the mango and pear/ginger jams myself. Raspberries are too few here in Hawaii. We do have plenty of citrus so I will likely make some marmalade as well.
I do love strawberry jam, too, but it is not in my top four.

[debm55]

87. Thank you pandr32. All four are wonderful.

[Zambero]

35. Home canned apricot preserves

[debm55]

90. Thank you zambero. You are very talented.

[Lonestarblue]

36. Fig, followed by apricot. But Pandr's ginger and pear sounds really tasty!

[FalloutShelter]

59. OMG...

Fig with brie cheese......heaven.

[Lonestarblue]

69. Yep!

I also make a yummy appetizer with it. Spread a thin layer on flatbread, put shredded prosciutto on top with some small bits of goat cheese (I like herbed version) here and there, bake for 10-12 minutes at 350, then top with arugula and cut into small bites.

[debm55]

92. Thank you FalloutShelter. I am going to try. It sounds terrrific.

[FalloutShelter]

93. You will love it Deb.

[debm55]

91. Thank you Lonestarblue. I never had fig. Sound great. Pandr's recipe does sound great. I am going to try.

[debm55]

94. I will do the fig.TY

[debm55]

46. Thank you very much zeusdogmom. Sounds great, Enjoy.

[MadLinguist]

41. lemon & kumquat marmalade

Perfect combination of flavors. It's one that my mother and I copied from an old guy at a farmer's market in Thibodaux, Louisiana years and years ago. Tastes like sunshine on a bright cool day

[debm55]

45. Sounds wounderful. Thank you MadLinquist. Enjoy

[ArnoldLayne]

54. Strawberry

[debm55]

89. YES! Thank you ArnoldLayne.

[Lochloosa]

55. Orange Marmalade for my biscuits. Raspberry Jam for P and J sandwiches.

And Mayhaw Jelly for something different. It's a southern thing.

[debm55]

96. Thank you Lochloosa. Love Raspberry Jam also. What is Mayhaw Jelly made of?

[Lochloosa]

100. A mayhaw tree is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree or shrub that produces tart red berries

They grow in the swamps here in Florida. The jelly is very mild. It's best on warm biscuits.



A mayhaw tree is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree or shrub that produces tart red berries and is part of the Hawthorne family:
Appearance
Mayhaw trees have oval, pointed leaves that are dull green and downy underneath. They can grow up to 30 feet tall and 8 inches in diameter, with a narrow, rounded crown. In late February or early March, they produce white blooms, and in late April or early May, they produce small, red to orange fruits.

[catbyte]

62. Maui Upcountry Jams & Jellies Pineapple Jam

I got hooked when I was there.

[debm55]

104. Thank you catbyte. Enjoy.

[Kali]

63. Turkish tart cherry preserves

more like fruit in thick syrup than jam. SSOOOO good. also homemade apricot. come to think of it that is about all. too sweet, rather have a ton of butter on bread than jam/jelly.

oh yeah, my German friends make a raspberry jam that is so good, they call it summer in a jar. haven't had it in years. I used to get a couple jars sent for xmas, but postage has gotten so insane we are now barely mailing cards anymore

[debm55]

107. Thank you Kali. Your description in your post made my mouth water.

[lpbk2713]

65. I was always partial to apricot.

I like it on a buttered English muffin.

[debm55]

120. Thank you very much. I really enjoy apricot. and you are right.English muffins are the way to go.

[Different Drummer]

75. I've always liked orange marmalade.

[debm55]

121. Thank you Different Drummer. Very good choice.

[Carmiel]

76. Peach!!

My DIL recently sent me a jar of peach preserves she made from fruit from their trees...amazing!!

[debm55]

122. Thank you Carmiel. and welcome to DU. They were amazing because they came from her trees and the preserves were made

with love.

[ailsagirl]

77. I'm with you

In second place, I'd say peach jam. Yummy on toast

[debm55]

123. I have always loved strawberry the best. thank you ailsagirl. Enjoy.

[electric_blue68]

160. I've never seen peach jam! I've looked for it here & there.

Hmmm...does it taste more like the peach of a peach cobbler?
I really enjoy fresh peaches.

[ailsagirl]

161. I looked it up-- you can get it at Walmart or Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/Smuckers-Peach-Preserve-18-oz/dp/B000VDRLAI

[electric_blue68]

164. Ty 👍

[DeeDeeNY]

78. I have 3 favorites -

Mango, Morello cherry, orange marmalade

[debm55]

124. Wonderful and delicious. that you DeeDeeNY. Enjoy.

[beemerphill]

79. Most Jams and Jellies are Good

If you were to make me pick my favorite it would be Bonne Maman Blueberry. It is overpriced, but not too bad. Walmart here carries it. At one time it would have been Malkins Strawberry from Canada. Now it is called Canada Jam and is hard to find. You can order it, but again it is pricey and you pay shipping. There are many outstanding products out there, but these two stand above the rest.

[debm55]

125. Thank you very much. beemerphill. I like how you leave yourself open to all kinds.

[LoisB]

80. Strawberry preserves

[debm55]

128. Me too. thank you LoisB

[rockbluff botanist]

84. Orange marmalade

[debm55]

127. thank you rockbluff botanist. Have you ever tried to make?

[Elessar Zappa]

88. Strawberry also.

Blackberry preserves is good too, as long as it’s fresh from the blackberry bush.

[debm55]

126. Thank you Elessar Zappa. Two very good choices.

[ProfessorGAC]

95. Strawberry Works For Me

But, at a farmers' market here a year or so back, my wife got a homemade strawberry/rhubarb preserve that I thought was fantastic.
But, we only had one jar & it didn't last long. Not exactly a go-to.

[debm55]

118. Thank you ProfessorGAC. Love to go to farmer's markets. They have the best selection. Next time you will need to buy

more.

[Golden Raisin]

97. Strawberry/Rhubarb and Orange/Apricot Marmalade.

[debm55]

109. Thank you Golden Raisin. they both sound wonderful.

[nocoincidences]

98. I love hot pepper jelly, like jalapeno.

Sweet and spicy together, so good on anything you can think of!

[debm55]

105. thank you , I get mine from Harry and Dave's I like it on bagel with cream cheese. It really hits the spot.

[debm55]

111. Thank you The Roux Comes First. That Chipot'le infused strawberry jam sounds wonderful

[BigMin28]

[Luciferous]

113. Seedless blackberry

[debm55]

116. Yum, that sounds good. Thank you Luciferous. Enjoy.

[applegrove]

114. Blueberry. I helped my mom make strawberry jam one time and I couldn't look at a strawberry

for the next 15 years without feeling ill. Now I love them again but blueberries are my favourite fruit.

[debm55]

115. Thank you applegrove. Wow, I don't know if I could go 15 years without one. but I have never made jam from one.

[dhol82]

129. Quince

[debm55]

132. Thank you dhol82. that sounds very unique.

[Lilithschyld]

145. We have Quince trees, I make Quince butter every year. Love it! ❤️

[Lilithschyld]

130. Prickly Pear jelly. I make it every year. Yum!

[debm55]

133. I have had prickly pear fruit but never had the jelly. Loved it. You are so talented to make your own Thank you

[Lilithschyld]

144. We have tons of the cactus around here, I harvest a modest amount every year to make jelly and wine. It is sublime.

[electric_blue68]

158. When I visited the Grand Canyon at the gift shop I saw prickly pear jam. 👍 What does it taste like?

[LisaM]

131. Strawberry or raspberry, but...

Must have seeds!

[debm55]

134. Thank you LisaM. I like both too.

[Runningdawg]

135. Frog jam - Figs, rhubarb, orange and ginger or plum

[debm55]

136. Thank you. I like how you did that. Interesting.

[3catwoman3]

137. IKEA's lingonberry fruit spread - sweet and tart.

My husband likes their orange marmalade. It has elderflowers in it.

And, when we visit the Finger Lakes area in NY state, we stock up on a local delight - black currant jelly and jam. The company also makes a syrup that's good not only on pancakes, but also drizzled over fresh pear slices.

And, Thomas' English muffins now has a variety made with buttermilk. The "nooks and crannies" are huge and provide lots of craters for butter to melt into.

[debm55]

138. I'll tell you a secret. We used to go there for the lingonberry fruit spread. I will have to look for the Buttermilk

muffins. Thank you 3catwoman3,

[3catwoman3]

142. It's quite good on their Swedish chicken meatballs...

...in addition to more conventional uses.

[northoftheborder]

139. Lingonberry! 2nd choice cherry

[debm55]

149. Thank you northoftheborder

[woodsprite]

140. Black raspberry (Smuckers)! But they're hard to find. nt

[debm55]

141. My family used to like that type and brand. Too hard to find. We went back to Smuckers strawberry. Thank you woodsprite

[sakabatou]

143. Strawberry as well

[debm55]

147. Thank you sakabatou.

[Dem2theMax]

146. Boysenberry preserves! Good luck finding it.

Smuckers bought out Knott's Berry Farms jams and preserves. Can't stand Smuckers to begin with, and now I hate them.

[debm55]

148. Thank you. I didn't know that about Snuckers, I agree with you.

[justaprogressive]

150. I'm alone on this because probably you've never tasted it.

Blackcurrant Jam.



This is the original and avowed best, and they've changed the recipe: honey swapped for corn syrup
and several other downgrades...

So luckily I still have 7 jars, but that will be it.

Black currants taste like a mixture of raspberries, grapes, blackberries, and gooseberries. They are very juicy with a strong tart taste and an acidic and tannic finish. Dried black currants have sweet vanilla and wildflower notes.

[DFW]

151. Marillen

It's a special kind of apricot with three times the taste intensity of "normal" apricots. They come from the Wachautal (Wachau Valley) in Austria.

Staud's is considered the gold standard of the brands that are occasionally available outside Austria, although D'Arbo isn't bad for a more mass production. Fair warning--that stuff is extremely addictive!

In the Wachau Valley itself, there are several small family-owned ventures. The Tastl family makes a Marillen Nektar that is thicker than egg nog, and it is not advisable to open a bottle of it with other people around, because violent fights may erupt over who gets to polish the bottle off. And it isn't even booze--just the best fruit juice in the world.

[debm55]

170. Thank you very much, DFW

[MontanaMama]

152. Blackberry.

However, I have a bumper crop of basil in my herb bed that I need to use up and I am making basil jelly tomorrow. I am reading that it is amazing on buttered sourdough bread. I will add a sprinkle of basil salt to temper the sweetness. Kind of excited about this project.

[debm55]

172. Thank you Montana Mama. It sounds great. Enjoy.

[ThoughtCriminal]
