Hartley's Bramble Jelly for me. I could just eat some on brown bread and butter but sadly I am at work. Might have to have some when I get home though.

Home made Raspberry for me. Also love Greengage jam, as I have found a local source. This morning I bought a jar of Blackcurrant jam from a Charity stall at Church. Anything home made gets my vote really.

Damson is my favourite. (It seems to be winning!) A friend has a large tree and usually gives me a jar, which is delicious.

Rhubarb and ginger.
Also bramble jelly

A good raspberry jam is best for me.

I like jam that is not too sweet, so blackcurrant, damson or plum.

Damson or plum, yummy. I do not make jam- I would never get through it, a jar or maybe two a year is my limit so a friend supplies me.

Damson. There is a tree at the bottom of the garden, but the most fruitful branches hang, inaccessibly, over the brook. sad

I seem to have gone off jam and marmalade in recent years and jars just get left to moulder. DH likes honey and I might have a bit of that but generally don't use spreads. I used to like lemon curd but its so calorific I avoid it now. I do like peanut butter but DH hates the smell of it so that's out too. What a sad little spreadless life I have!! sad

Damson for me too, I wish I could find wild ones Nellimoser. But we do have brambles growing in abundance alongside fields about a mile away and got about 6 jars of jam last year from them. We have to watch for just the right time to go picking as lots of other people have the same idea!

All of them I love jam and honey. I particularly like damson, black currant, raspberry and bramble?

My home made damson jam. We have sussed out a sorce of wild damsons nearby and use lots of them as jam, chutney and damson gin. I
like jam to have a tang to it. I also make gooseberry jam.

I have bought a jar of Mackays Seedless Bramble Preserve and openend it this morning to have on my toast...I'm in heaven. I normally buy Hartleys but thought I try something different. Which is other gransnetters favourite jam or preserve?
