fruit preserves - what's your jam?

[Torzelbaum]

(Or jelly or marmalade or whatnot.)

So what type of fruit preserves do you use or eat regularly? And how do you use them?

I'm pretty basic - I usually just eat them on toast or in a PB&J. And I usually just have either grape jelly or strawberry jam. On rare occasions I will have blackberry jelly if a restaurant has that as an option.

Got some fig jam recently and it was the bomb on English muffins.

My SO's parents make some amazing jams and jellies. I am lousy with amazing pepper jellies, mango jams, etc.

I love me some strawberry jam or some jalapeno jam

I like the taste of jam in small doses but for some reason, I've never been big on actually putting it on bread.

All jams are delicious. All preserves are wonderful.

Only some marmalades are good however.

Yuzu-cha/citron tea is legit. Please do not pay that price though, good grief.

I do quite like fruit preserves in their various forms, but I don't really care for large fruit bits in them either.

My SO's mom has given her some strawberry rhubarb pineapple jam that I am very eager to try.

Made some spicy jam with frozen fruit and a super chili a coworker gave me from his garden. Generally followed this recipe although I used the immersion blender in the first 10 minutes of simmering because why wait honestly. I did the fridge version because I'm lazy and don't want to bother with canning procedures. Came out really well and I'm quite happy.
