Understand that I now make my own, from berries picked at a local blueberry farm or from figs in our yard or our neighbor's yard. Up until I moved to the Carolinas, you'd be lucky to get me to eat jam at all.

[pjthompson]

Oh yeah, making it yourself makes a big difference. We make jam from the peach tree every year and usually cherry from the local farmer's market. Just delish!

I'd say I'm somewhere between ticky no. 3 and ticky no. 4.

[pjthompson]

There is a world of choice in jam spreading. :-)

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Such delicious choice!

[pjthompson]

Yes, indeed, especially if it's home made.

I eat mine with shortbread cookies. nomnomnom!

[pjthompson]

Oooo! I like how you think!

[julia-reynolds.livejournal.com]

Do not forget the butter - a jam requirement.

[pjthompson]

Yes! But some people do not like the butter/jam interface. Go figure.

My *other* is that I eat a spoonful in a plain yoghurt or a serving of fromage blanc. So tasty. i have also been known to use jam on the bottom of tarts, in cake recipes, and even in smoothies, so yeah, not just with bready products. :D

[pjthompson]

All excellent examples of creative jam usage.

I use enough jam to coat the toast so it doesn't get stuck in your throat when you eat it. ;-)

ETA; But not so much jam that it drips in my hand or runs down my arm. sticky = bad

[pjthompson]

A very well-balanced plan. ;-)

I make my own from the wild blackberries and my neighbors' plums and mullberries. I like it on my oatmeal too.

[pjthompson]

Yum! I actually have peanut butter with my oatmeal. :-)

[inkbabies.livejournal.com]

ooo! never thought of that! Yum!

[pjthompson]

Especially if it's chunky style--lots of little surprises.

[inkbabies.livejournal.com]

mmmm! Peanut butter and jam oatmeal sounds good too.

though, I have been known to go to town on some straight jelly, but that it is a rarity.

[pjthompson]

Nothing wrong with that!
