And yes it is good jam. If my primary brand of a particular flavour (one brand for each or couple of flavours) is not available, I always check the Bonne Maman jams. They are not my first choice due to cost. I remember particularly liking cherry but didn't treat myself to theirs often.

I will keep this story in mind and increase my purchases of Bonne Maman.
