Are you a Jam fan?

[FridgeJenga]

What's your favourite?
I've just found a jar of homemade (by a friend) plum jam dated 2021 while sorting out a neglected cupboard.
It's delicious.
My all time favourite is Bonne maman's Apricot conserve.
I also love marmalade.

We have an allotment so I make a lot of jam - gallons of plum jam in the summer, plus raspberry, blackberry, and I'm about to make some apple butter. Our cherry tree had an epic year this year and we actually got to the fruit before the pigeons did for the first time ever, so I made some cherry jam that was absolutely amazing. Also just made some quince jam from some found windfalls, which took ages but was blooming lovely. I didn't have time to strain and make quince jelly but that's the next thing I want to try. I used to follow recipes very earnestly, but now I just freewheel it with roughly equal weights of fruit and jam sugar and hope for the best.

I had always thought Tiptree Little Scarlett was The Best Jam In The World but have recently discovered Single Variety. Their Victoria blackberry jam is absolutely heavenly. Very expensive at £6.50 for a jar which is two thirds the size of a standard jam jar but still worth it.
Am about to order their Sonata strawberry now.

I thought the same!

Yes I love it but I tend not eat it much due to the sugar content- watching my weight!
As kids we used to have lemon curd sandwiches. One night my auntie was babysitting and my sister asked for a ‘lemon piece’ (we are Scottish and a ‘piece’ is a sandwich) and she could not figure out what she meant. A lemon curd sandwich!

Same. It’s the capital ‘J’

love jam but has to be good quality as cheap jam is over sweet and sugary
love marmalade but my fave has to be lime marmalade by Roses. when i was young my uncle if i was good let me have a small bit on a teaspoon as mum said it was too dear to buy!

Eton Rifles or raspberry with seeds.

Agree that Eton Rifles is a classic and Going underground
I do like a seedless raspberry jam and jammy dodgers

I was going to say I like the who too 😆 🤣 😂

My favorite Paul Weller song is ‘ you do something to me’ , he is such a music legend , yet manages to stay under the radar too.

The best was my Nans for me blackberry jam but for DH when she met him she made him rhubarb and ginger jam that was also amazing

mine now is Bonnie maman raspberry

I had the Bonne Maman advent calendar last year, the passion fruit and pineapple one is amazing, not seen it in the shops though.

Generally I find them too sweet but I love plum or damson!

I’ve never opened a thread and been so disappointed.

Stanley Road as an album is a masterpiece.

Beat Surrender still brings a tear to my eye. I was gutted when they split.

Gooseberry- as suggested on another thread. I bloody love gooseberries.

Can sloes be made into jam? We've had a few frosts recently so those berries still on the bushes should be at maximum sweetness. All assuming they don't all get turned into sloe gin.

when I was a child my grandmother used to make blackberry and apple jelly with apples from her garden and blackberries from bushes in the lane. it was so nice on fresh Hovis bread and butter never tasted anything like it since

Me too. My doubts are cast aside ❤️

always gets me

I’m having it at my funeral!

Might have gooseberry fool too.
