My favorite jellies and jams are jalapeno, strawberry, grape, and blackberry! The Amish jellies and jams cost only $1.99 a jar in Amish Country, but the Amish jellies and jams sold locally cost $6.99 per jar.

As-a-matter-of-fact, my roommate bought some jalapeno jelly today and the jelly was $6.99.

Today, I had some jalapeno jelly mixed with oatmeal.

Remember to remind myself to buy cherry jelly when I run out of jalapeno!

A popular name-brand Amish jelly is called "Amish Wedding". You can find their jellies on Amazon if you would like to purchase some.

I have been told that orange marmalade is good. Do you like such jelly/jam?

[OldGuy]

I remember that my dad always liked Orange Marmalade on toast back when growing up. (Sheese, way over a half century ago). I never particularly cared for it even though oranges are in my regular diet these days.

I used to live in a place where a local lady lived there who made a lot of different jams and sold them at local stores. She had a weird sense of humor. She loved to mix several different fruits to come up with an odd variety and made a point of mixing fruits with first initials that she used as the names of her concoctions. I remember Frog Jelly tasted pretty good. It was a mix of Figs, Rasberries, Oranges and Grapes.

There were several varieties with similar games to come up with strange names for each different product. Each was named by the initials of the fruit she used to make them. If she could come up with a word from the initials, she mixed them to make another variety. I don't particularly recall the other names but I did buy the frog jelly and enjoyed it.

I was told once years ago, that orange marmalade is good on boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I am not much of a chicken person, except for the occasional canned chicken breast and chicken parmesan.

What do you like jelly/jam on?

I like to use jelly in smoothies. I like jelly with oatmeal too.

What else?

I do not like jelly that is too sweet. Thus, that is the reason I like jalapeno jelly.

Yesterday, I was given a nice-sized jar of strawberry. How did they know that I was so tired of grape?

Gooseberry jam is very nice. I used to make it with my mother when I was a kid, but I don't have gooseberry bushes now. It's quite tart, which I enjoy.

I also like plum or blackberry jam.

Yes, blackberry is delicious!

While away for the Christmas holiday... Why did I not pack peanut butter and jelly? I have learned a lesson! I could not pack peanut butter and jelly smoothies. I usually do not like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, only the smoothies, but am craving the sandwiches. I want strawberry jelly, too! How about you?

Orange Marmalade was my favorite for a long time.
Next is Pineapple Jam and then Mixed Fruit.

I want to try Blueberry Preserve(they have not named it as Jam) some day.
Yet it is 4x the cost of the standard jams we have here.
I think it is because it is imported.

Yes, we do have preserves here in the United States, especially low-sugar and sugar-free.

I do not find jalapeno jelly to be quite sour. Tastes just like a jalapeno with a taste or a dash of sugar.

Iove pineapple flavour in jam and jelly.

You have myself craving pineapple! I like pineapple ice cream topping. I like pineapple juice. Pineapple jelly has got to be good! Thanks for the tip!

Way back when I was a kid, we had a large rhubarb patch in our own backyard. We also had a neighbor lady who made outstanding strawberry rhubarb pies. Every time we could gather up enough rhubarb to take to her, she would whip up one of her great pies to give back. She had her own strawberry patch.

I have not thought about them for years. However, on my latest trip to the store, I discovered a new display of homemade jams from a local source, and one of the new varieties was Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam! I snagged it off the shelf as soon as I spotted it and have been enjoying it on toast since then. Not quite the same flavor but close enough to bring back fond memories.

That is awesome. I hope that they keep the shelves supplied for you!
