The best flavour of jam

[MrsHathaway]

Shop:

1. Blackcurrant
2. Seedless raspberry
3. Strawberry

Homemade:

1. Damson
2. Gooseberry
3. Strawberry

DC contend that strawberry tops both lists

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

Shop bought : Apricot, raspberry, marmalade.
Home made: I don’t. But MIL made rhubarb with something (raspberry?) recently, that was good.

The correct answer is:

Raspberry
Blackberry
Rhubarb & Ginger

Shop bought- strawberry 🍓

Homemade- gooseberry

Actually, my favourite is lavender jelly, but that’s not on your list. Oh, and quince!

I really don’t like damson though, which is a real shame because we have 2 damson trees.

I do like damson gin though...

Rhubarb and ginger
Black Cherry
Raspberry.

They all have a bit more kick to them compared to strawberry or apricot.

My favourite thing ever to eat though is wholemeal Irish soda bread with proper salted butter and then honey drizzled over.

mmm, quince is good, but it's a jelly really not a jam
I mean lots of these are really nice....
but damson is STILL THE BEST

Pineapple jam is the absolute best ever.

From these lists, I think I need to be more adventurous when selecting jam as usually have strawberry or raspberry
Black cherry jam in a cherry bakewell cake (bbc good food recipe, very tasty) is amazing. Going to buy some damson next time I see it on recommendations above.

Either black cherry or apricot. Perfection

Black cherry
Raspberry
Plum
Blackcurrant

Raspberry!! :) And marmalade - any kind. Lime marmalade is bloody delicious 😍😍

Oooh also black cherry and blackberry. And quince jelly ❤️

I'm craving jam now!
Raspberry
Damson cheese

Homemade rhubarb and ginger obvs!
Also homemade yellow plum, bramble jelly
So many good ones.

Rhubarb. With none of that nasty ginger. Or with raspberry at a pinch. Bonne maman rhubarb jam is lovely, but difficult to find.
I fancy a try of the rose petal stuff. Rhubarb and Rose might work (and I rather like the alliteration)

Mackays rhubarb and ginger! Yum!

Raspberry with seeds and apricot are my favourites.

Quince
Rhubarb and orange
Blackcurrant
But any of the sour ones really - damson, gooseberry, cherry.
Strawberry is too sweet and bland.
Someone asked what bullaces are - a type of wild plum, round and a bit bigger than sloes. Can be green or black and make amazing jam.
As do cherry plums. They're very popular in municipal hedges and nobody seems to pick them. All the more for me!!

Rhubarb, strawberry, ginger in any combination.

I can't have bread or butter, my body is broken. Could someone possibly bring themselves to have a doorstep of fresh crusty white with lashings of butter and jam for me? know It's a lot to ask of strangers but you seem a kind bunch and I will allow your choice of preserve

Harvey nichols chilli and ginger extra jam which you can get from Ocado.

Tiptree Little Scarlet (whole wild strawberries)

Rose petal

All jams pretty good though. A hard thing to fuck up.

Homemade raspberry jam (with all the seeds in) is the best, followed quite a long way behind by homemade blackcurrant jam. All the rest taste only of sugar, imo.

Apricot. Without bits in it.

It must be true as I won't eat any other flavour at all.

1. Apricot
2. Blackcurrant
3. Raspberry

Raspberry.

Seeded raspberry
Marmite
Lemon curd
Marmite

Raspberry. Although at the Christmas market in Edinburgh last year I tried (I think) a cherry and cointreau jam that was delicious.
