Favorite Jam or Preserves?

[bdsorcic]

For me it is marmalade! Learned only recently that it is the healthy one. ... Just my 2 cents, To each it's own!

Mine is blackberry, with raspberry a pretty close second. I prefer a Swiss brand called Hero. Some of their stuff now comes in from Germany, but seems of the same high quality. It seems a little tangier and more flavorful than US brands.

Dickinson's is good, though, and Smucker's. Smucker's orange marmalade is a super buy for what I usually pay for it.

Do you have strong peferences among preserves, fruit spreads, etc.?

Is the board really this slow? Hey, I didn't want to start another bear thread.

For me, it's Strawberry and made from those grown in Poteet, Texas ;-)) Can't get anything better than that.

Howdy,
Does apple butter count?
Biscuits and apple butter is hard to beat.
Thanks
Mike

Apple butter certainly counts. I havent had any in years.

Raspberry, blackberry. Peach jam with a bit of almond extract ,over the top. those are my favorite.

It's hard to beat Smucker's raspberry preserves at the price. On the upscale end, Sarabeth's blood orange marmalade is excellent. I also recently found an apricot preserve that's the best I ever tasted - the brand is 778 and it's imported from Israel. It's full of half apricots with a very intense flavor. My local supermarket had it and it's also available online.

My all-time favorite is Muscadine ! nothing better than a homemade cathead biscuit loaded with butter covered in muscadine jelly...

blackberry, would be next, followed by my grandmothers homemade fig preserves .

Took the words right out of my mouth.

With a name like Smuckers..

Red Raspberry preserves is my favorite.

The blackberry jam they serve at Cracker Barrel, and those biscuits. Oh my.

I like most of them but its gotta be a good bitter Orange Marmalade for my favorite!

Note to TX STAR: Kuby's where you and I went to lunch in Snider Plaza has lots of very nice and different condiments.

My mom has been gone for forty one years and one of the things I remember and miss, is her home made blackberry preserves. We picked the berries wild and she would spend hours in the kitchen, cooking and canning. The best thing in the world on a cold winter morning, was her biscuits with home churned butter and blackberry preserves. Thanks for bringing back these great memories. I miss you Mom.

My aunt thelma (beaumont Tx) made the fig preserves. And you couldn't eat it unless it was aged at least a year. Lordy that stuff was good- had the rock candy formed on the top under the lid in the Mason jar. On biscuits.
Now I won't hardly eat anything other than homemade.

Bob-

Yeah, I noticed, in the store area after we left the restaurant proper.

They also have Lindt & Sprungli and (I think) a good selection of Ghiradelli chocolates. That's one of the few places where I've found L&S's orange-filled chocolate bars.
I look for those, but seldom find them.

Their lunches with the sausages and kraut are good. I did miss sauerbraten, but it's probably too complex to make for a quick lunch place. Their menu reminded me of Hans Mueller's place at the state fair. I used to take my kids there to eat during the fair and I'd give them a penny for each of the flags they could name, alongside that long pool, the Esplanade.

Thanks again for lunch. I enjoyed that. BTW, the Baskins-Robbins location next to that barber shop where you dropped me off has remodeled and has good ice cream.

Is that Bitter Orange marmalade that you like made by Crosse & Blackwell? I've had that. BTW, I think the company holds the Royal Warrant as a supplier of jams to the Queen. They have a Bitter Lime or something like that, too.

Butchd is so right!A few years ago a patient of mine told me about Maynard, I was not familiar with them.He told me that you could eat Mawhaw Jelly daily and never get tired of it.A year or so later I traveled to Fla. and enroute visited the Okefenoke Swamp park and bought a jar of Mayhaw jelly in the gift shop.When I returned home my wife made homemade biscuits and we tried the jelly.Amazing!Soon I ordered a case and many biscuits and 15 pounds later I had to stop.I still dream of it.

It's about to be that time again, too.

 

[BobC357]

We make our own. Black Currant Jam is probably the favorite followed by Apricot preserves.

My Grandma would often give me a jar of homemade Orange Marmalade when I visited her, there was nothing better...
