I love damson jam 😋 My absolute favourite as I love the tanginess. I don't have a particular preference of brand but I have bonne maman at the moment.

Raspberry with seeds.

I love apricot, especially with halloumi or cheese on buttered toast.

Strawberry for scones!

Kenneldogsrock · 16/04/2021 12:49

Damson here too! I love it and my friend had a great damson tree from which my mum made loads of it.

I also love wild blueberry Bonne Maman

Crab Apple jelly, make it myself. You can sometimes find on a WI stall or at a church fete. Divine.

Commercial jam, the cherry one from Lidl is nice.

I want to try the bonne maman advent calendar

Black Cherry or morello cherry. Tastes like Jam Shed Shiraz too

Howsonetoknow · 16/04/2021 19:21

Home made blackberry and apple. My grandma used to make it from the fruit she grew in her garden. Will never find a good enough one to replace it Sad

If we are talking shop bought then Waitrose morello cherry is divine, especially on a warm croissant -with equal amounts butter and jam-

I'm more of a marmalade person. Bought some lemon and lime today.

Prickly Pear. Bright pink and delicious!

ChocOrange1 · 16/04/2021 19:25

A local cafe makes their own jam and are well known for their "high dumpsy dearie" jam. I think its a mixture of apple, pear and plum but in any case its delicious.

Alternatively, apricot jam or ginger preserve.

Raspberry Seedless

Usually we have homemade blackberry, often with vanilla or bay leaf. Lidl cherry jam is gorgeous, as is Tiptree wild blueberry. I’ve got a jar of London Borough of Jam chuckleberry waiting for once my gestational diabetes has passed and I’m dreaming of slathering croissants and toast with it!

Tip tree Morello Cherry, Morrison's cherry

.Apricot, Bon Maman intense is lovely

@ShirleyPhallus

I’d say Pearl
This deserves more attention

We had an old fashioned wild plum (bullace) tree in the garden and it makes the most amazing tart/sweet jam of a beautiful golden/amber colour.
We also had a morello cherry tree, the fruit is very tart but makes glorious jam.

TrainTraining · 16/04/2021 19:35

I love all the jams except for strawberry which ought to be banished from existence. But apricot with a almond croissant or damson on hot buttered toast and a decent raspberry with scones and cream is always a winner for me.

Beamur · 16/04/2021 19:37

Bullace jam is excellent and really easy to make.
Damson/plum would be my favourite. Although I have made an excellent raspberry one year. Currently eating a delicious strawberry jam made by DH's ex wife Grin

Sgtmajormummy · 16/04/2021 19:40

The organic raspberry by these guys. Just as good as coulis over vanilla ice cream.

Plum
Rhubarb
Both need to be home made.

aibutohavethisusername · 16/04/2021 19:40

Bonne Maman strawberry with the lower sugar or damson.

ShirleyPhallus · 16/04/2021 19:41

Thanks @BillMasheen

MadisonMontgomery · 16/04/2021 19:42

Any homemade, particularly raspberry - I am very sad our WVS shop is closed due to the pandemic, I always used to buy jam from them 😭

DramaAlpaca · 16/04/2021 19:44

IKEA's blueberry and raspberry jam is my favourite.

onlyhereforthefood · 16/04/2021 19:46

I love black cherry jam

Or apricot

Or bramble jelly

StColumbofNavron · 16/04/2021 19:48

This is a discussion I could have forever.

First and foremost, it is strawberry jam made Turkish style which is runny (and preferably homemade).

Outside this, my preference is for apricot jam which I think Bonne Maman do well and their strawberry is nice.

For a treat I will go quince jam and rose jam. Both in Turkish form (again runny) and the quince isn’t like the sort of quince jelly you put with cheese - but I do eat all jam with cheese on toast so, you know, it’s probably fine.
