What is your favorite kind of jelly/jam/preserves?

Ah Jeez! It wasn’t until after I’d posted the Q, that I realized we are talking about Jelly, ha!

Strawberry or applebutter.

Raspberry preserves are my jam. I like strawberry and fig preserves, too. Jams are fine, provided they is more actual fruit than anything else. I don’t care much for jelly. But I lurve jellies! ;) There is a difference between the three is the US, and here’s an explanation. [Edit: I flipped around the wording in your UK/US comparison, so that link doesn’t answer your question, but it does show the US meanings so I’ll just leave it.]

I also always look to make sure there’s only one source of sugar in the ingredients, and that it’s behind the actual fruit on the ingredient list. (If there are two or more sugars, I suspect the company of trying to hide the fact that there’s more sugar than fruit by dividing the sugars into different kinds… One part fruit, one part sucrose, and one part corn syrup is really two parts refined sugar.)

Almost any flavor but my faves are strawberry preserves and orange marmalade.

I’m not much on eating jelly or preserves or jam, except occasionally with cream cheese on a sandwich (maybe with added walnuts, too). I guess my fave would be raspberry jam or preserves with the seeds.

I have to add I’ve seen the term “clotted cream” in other places and never knew what it was. Is it another phrase for whipped cream?

Whipped cream and jelly doesn’t sound too appealing, to me.

Seville orange marmalade

Seedless blackberry jam

Plum, Apricot and Blackberry. Mmmm.

Dundee marmalade on toast.

Well, this conversation made me crave some jam/preserves. I went to the fridge to grab it, and I find out that I actually have raspberry “spread!” I don’t know what that is!

Ingredients in my “spread”: raspberries, cane sugar, pectin, ascorbic acid, citric acid. It is, sadly, so finely pureed that there aren’t even any seeds!

Blackberry jam, with seeds. Raspberry, strawberry, are great too. I tried a blueberry jam the other day. It was great, but a little too sweet for my taste…

@jca clotted cream always sounded icky to me too. But I wandered onto an article about it and I’d give it a go! I was reminded of custard which Rick loves. I’ve stared at custard when he orders it…i think it’s kind of like pudding.
See wiki…i found it for you then lost it. Thats why I hate using my phone.

Call me Paddington. I like marmalade if I’m going to use such a spread.
