Followed by Apricot.

Orange marmalade vs blueberry jam.

but strawberry is right up there as well.

Apricot preserves. The expensive one if I’m in a real good mood.

I also have some ginger syrup & it's scrumptious drizzled over marmalade!! It's great on just about anything, actually.

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

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.

It was Apple Butter.


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.

Did you sense a pattern here. That is ‘berry’ possible. 🍓🫐

Orange Marmalade on English muffins, any other except grape jelly on toast.

Someone had to go there, and you probably knew it would be me!

But I also love apricot!

Especially the ones my wife makes.

And I'm out of it! But, it's embarrassing really, how many other ones I still have in the fridge. With english muffins 😋

These posts are so fun! Now I'm off, to have a tooth removed, ugh.

Have a super sweet day!

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.

orange marmalade at home.

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.

Fig with brie cheese......heaven.

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.

🐖🍯

Of course, I don't eat sugar anymore, but when I did, bacon jam on toast was a breakfast treat!

Yummy 😁

Made by me from blackberries I grow in my back yard 😋

Perfect combination of flavors. It's one that my mother and I copied from an old guy at a farmer's market in Thibodaux, Louisiana years and years ago. Tastes like sunshine on a bright cool day

And Mayhaw Jelly for something different. It's a southern thing.

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.

I got hooked when I was there.

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

My DIL recently sent me a jar of peach preserves she made from fruit from their trees...amazing!!

with love.

In second place, I'd say peach jam. Yummy on toast

Hmmm...does it taste more like the peach of a peach cobbler?
I really enjoy fresh peaches.

Mango, Morello cherry, orange marmalade

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.

Blackberry preserves is good too, as long as it’s fresh from the blackberry bush.

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.

more.

Sweet and spicy together, so good on anything you can think of!

… with the whole fruit & seeds—usually TJ’s.

On toast, English muffins, or pb and j.
