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

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.

My favorite is loganberry, but I like any jam apart from apricot or gooseberry, they're the only fruits I dislike.

Homemade Blackberry jam, Apple jelly and Gooseberry jam. Gorgeous. My family didn't grow strawberries so this was always shop bought. Actually, we were lucky to have enough blackberries for jam ('cos had purple everything from eating while supposed to be picking, but they were abundant.

So yabu.

Yabu.

Those are the only two flavours I don't like.

Silly to post as though all others must agree with you.

If your apricot jam is too sweet you are probably using too ripe fruit. My apricots all fall off the tree before they are totally ripe so I have lots of tart apricots. They make very good jam with plenty of pectin for the set (I also put in a few apricot kernels for a bit of a vanillaish taste or last year I made a really good apricot and amaretto preserve).
