DC contend that strawberry tops both lists

Clearly I am NBU. Strawberry jam is good jam but definitely not best.

Bonne Mamman Cherries and Berrries. I love it.

Mirabelle ( from France but oh so delicious). Rhubarb. Home made raspberry. Home made plum

DS will not eat jam at all
DD will only eat strawberry, shop bought or homemade
DH likes his aunt’s marmalade, but not his mum’s (his mum doesn’t know!)
I like all posh shop or homemade preserves. One of the TAs at the DC’s school makes loads of different flavour jams and chutneys for the school fair every summer.
All are delicious!

I'm not sure I've ever eaten apricot jam. I know I once refused to eat my own birthday cake because it had been sandwiched with apricot jam, rather than a proper jam (see above).

Best jam I've ever tasted was on holiday in Mauritius - homemade pineapple jam on freshly-baked croissants. Utterly amazing.

Raspberry

My own mixed summer fruit jam made with blueberries, blackcurrants, strawberries, and raspberries.

Ooh, fig is good tho

Jumbleberry, veronicat

Depends what with, strawberry with scones, apricot with croissants, blackcurrant with toast.

I'm not that keen on strawberry. I love bramble jelly and apricot jam, and I actually quite like mixed fruit too (which I think is usually mainly plum).

Best ever may possibly have been apricot and lemon that my mum used to make. She's no longer physically capable of making jam and I miss it.

I like all of them pretty much if I’m honest! Don’t like marmalade (isn’t that different to jam?) as it’s too bitter.

Damson - always !

Not quite jam but Jersey Black Butter. My friend brought me some - heaven!

Fig jam
Fig jam

And more fig jam. Oh yes

Peanut butter.

Fruit jam can go in the bin where it belongs!

Blackcurrant. Obviously.

Home made lemon curd is a definite contender for the toast topping title but commercial and even a lot of farmers market type lemon curd is way too sweet.

Blackcurrant always

Rhubarb and ginger for toast.

This stuff is amazing. All of their jams are super fruity and made with grape juice instead of sugar. This one is just right for an effortless raspberry coulis over ice cream, panna cotta, rolypoly pudding...
Or thickly sliced freshly made white toast.

I make Mumsnet apricot jam in Summer (10 mins in the microwave) but only when the fruit’s so cheap and abundant that I’ve run out of better ideas.

Rhubarb and ginger, especially if my mum made it.

Raspberry, with seeds.

Blackcurrant. Not blackberry.
Fig.

Ginger marmalade.

If it counts, lemon curd beats them all.

Figit jam, closely followed by ginger.

Fig rather!

Raspberry or plum ❤️❤️❤️

Homemade blackberry
