Oh yum. I see they have a ginger spread, now, too.

(8,456 posts)Wonderful memory of picking huckleberries with my mom on the Long Beach peninsula. Awful to clean but the pie she made was sublime. Sadly, she never taught me to make pie but I always think of her when I eat my morning toast with huckleberry jam.

Today, I don't consume too much jelly/preserves. Every once in awhile I'll measure out a small amount grape jelly and mix it in a bowl with a small amount of peanut butter just because I need it and I deserve to indulge once in awhile.

(310 posts)I've loved it since I was a child. We had two plum trees in our backyard, and my mother made plum jelly every year. It was wonderful! Unfortunately the trees got old and died many years ago. The store bought variety is very good, but not as good as hers was.

(12,042 posts)Raspberry spread, mango jam, pear and ginger jam, and orange marmalade.
I make the mango and pear/ginger jams myself. Raspberries are too few here in Hawaii. We do have plenty of citrus so I will likely make some marmalade as well.
I do love strawberry jam, too, but it is not in my top four.

(11,438 posts)I also make a yummy appetizer with it. Spread a thin layer on flatbread, put shredded prosciutto on top with some small bits of goat cheese (I like herbed version) here and there, bake for 10-12 minutes at 350, then top with arugula and cut into small bites.

(16,372 posts)They grow in the swamps here in Florida. The jelly is very mild. It's best on warm biscuits.
A mayhaw tree is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree or shrub that produces tart red berries and is part of the Hawthorne family:
Appearance
Mayhaw trees have oval, pointed leaves that are dull green and downy underneath. They can grow up to 30 feet tall and 8 inches in diameter, with a narrow, rounded crown. In late February or early March, they produce white blooms, and in late April or early May, they produce small, red to orange fruits.

(55,602 posts)more like fruit in thick syrup than jam. SSOOOO good. also homemade apricot. come to think of it that is about all. too sweet, rather have a ton of butter on bread than jam/jelly.
oh yeah, my German friends make a raspberry jam that is so good, they call it summer in a jar. haven't had it in years. I used to get a couple jars sent for xmas, but postage has gotten so insane we are now barely mailing cards anymore

(501 posts)If you were to make me pick my favorite it would be Bonne Maman Blueberry. It is overpriced, but not too bad. Walmart here carries it. At one time it would have been Malkins Strawberry from Canada. Now it is called Canada Jam and is hard to find. You can order it, but again it is pricey and you pay shipping. There are many outstanding products out there, but these two stand above the rest.

(69,175 posts)But, at a farmers' market here a year or so back, my wife got a homemade strawberry/rhubarb preserve that I thought was fantastic.
But, we only had one jar & it didn't last long. Not exactly a go-to.

(25,227 posts)My husband likes their orange marmalade. It has elderflowers in it.
And, when we visit the Finger Lakes area in NY state, we stock up on a local delight - black currant jelly and jam. The company also makes a syrup that's good not only on pancakes, but also drizzled over fresh pear slices.
And, Thomas' English muffins now has a variety made with buttermilk. The "nooks and crannies" are huge and provide lots of craters for butter to melt into.
