To think any flavour of jam apart from srawberry or raspberry is just nasty?

[MagelanicClouds]

DH keeps trying to persuade me to try some peach and ginger jam a friend gave him. It looks brown and nasty and smells like something rotted in it.
My mum swears by fig, plum and apple jam. It looks like someone else ate it first and nothing will tempt me to try.
In fact any jam I have tried that isn't strawberry or raspberry has just tasted bad and been a bitter disappointment.

Yabu, blackcurrant is where all the cool kids are at.

Although tbh I eat it maybe once a decade cos its sweeter than a sweet thing on sweet day in sweet land and anyway peanut butter is where all the really cool kids are.

Cherry jam does it for me. I loved it so much on a German school exchange one of the mother's gave me a jar of homemade for a going home present. Lovely lady she was.

Whaaat? Black currant is delicious.
Apricot is a bit naff-I'll give you that!

M & S blackcurrant conserve is gorgeous. Absolutely solid with fruit and with a nice sharp tang. I like raspberry as long as it has a very high fruit content and isn't runny or too sweet. Sour cherry is nice too. As for strawberry jam, I've never liked it at all.

So there.

P.S. Nothing is better than M & S Ruby Red Grapefruit Marmalade (in the area of conserves that is)

Homemade blackberry or blackberry and apple is pretty good. Not sure about peach and ginger but rhubarb and ginger is amazing. Lemon curd beats them all though.

I hate raspberry. All those bloody pips.
But love fig, black current, bilberry, rhubarb.

I half agree with you, but my auntie makes an amazing mixed berry jam, and it's always lovely whatever she puts in it. And the apple jam I've had in other countries has been nice.

Apricot, fig, peaches and ginger et al, are all wrong.

Strawberry but only Bonne Mamon type ( or Sainsburys Taste the Difference) not the vile jelly crap that MIL gives me. (Nearest it gets to a syrawberry is the picture on the label)

Marmalade - I only like shredless (philistine )

Apricot should only appear between homemade fruit cake and homemade marzipan

Any other jam

Lemon curd though

Lemon curd... I wouldn't ever badmouth lemon curd. As it's not technically a jam... I will allow it.

My gran loved pineapple jam :(

Is there a difference between lemon cheese and lemon curd?

I love most kinds of jam.

Some days when I've had a really shite day I go to the fridge when the children are in bed and steal a few scoops of jam straight from the jar to cheer me up. Works every time.

Bramble Jam is the best. Closely followed by raspberry and then plum.

Anything containing ginger is the food of the devil so yanbu about that.

I discovered blueberry jam the other day, it is amazing!

OH is South African, and there melon +/- ginger jam is popular. The schoolkids used to call it camel snot.

Blueberry or black cherry are the business. I don't mind strawberry in a sponge cake but I'm not keen on raspberry.

StartlingMurmeration Nope, no difference betwixt the two.

Ps sorry Starling, I startled you by accident!!

Rhubarb... Why would you eat rhubarb jam? Rhubarb is horrific in any shape or form!
Villain - camel snot!

Starling my mum used to make lemon cheese , I'm sure there was cheese in it, I'll check next time I talk to her.

I'm not 100% sure it's the real thing, she likes cheese&apple so she probably decided to lob some cheddar in

You can get Quince Cheese (I think Waitrose sell it) but it's a really dense quince compote (IIRC it's dairy free)

My homemade bramble jam is amazing, even if I do say so myself.

YABU, there are lots of delicious jams out there, go and try some.

I make tons of blackcurrant jam every year - they're so easy to grow. Plum is also lovely. And apricot compote on warm croissants.

I also make a Portuguese squash jam which is lovely in cakes and puddings.

You haven't tasted my blackberry and apple jelly have you! Delicious made from blackberries picked in the neighbouring fields and apples from our garden. Yum and so easy to make.

Bonne Mamman cherries and berries is the best jam in the whole wide world.

In my opinion anyway.
