Jam..Jelly..Preserves..

[C.Ann]

What's your preference? How about your kids?

I was just thinking about my lunch today (peanut butter and grape jam sandwich) and it got me to thinking about what other people prefer..

If it's grape, it has to be jam..

Anything else? Preserves..

I don't care for the consistency of jelly - it seems too thin and watery..

My adult DD prefers strawberry preserves.. My DGD prefers jams or preserves.. My mom is all about orange marmalade..

Call me ingnorant.....but to me they are all the same. I just buy the Knott's stawberry one and go on my way. Not sure if its jam jelly or preserves.

No jelly in this house! Jellies are made from the fruit's juice. Jams and Preserves are made from the whole fruit. Marmalades are made from citrus including the peel.

Peach preserves are my favorite. I also love seedless raspberry jam.

My kids never got jelly or creamy peanut butter for that matter. Or white bread. They started on jams and extra crunchy pb on wheat and don't know any different..

Just thought of something odd.. Here I said I don't like the consistency of "jelly" - yet I love jelly donuts!!

Guess I just don't like it on sandwiches.. LOL

I like blackberry preserves, but I like it best with seeds. It is usually labeled as seedless - as if seedless is somehow better .

I like strawberry preserves, but grape, plum and apple jelly. I have never tried jam, maybe I should next time.

When I was a kid, my favourite sandwich was Cheez Whiz & Welch's Grape Jelly.

No idea where that came from.....

These days, I stick with no-sugar added preserves or my gramma's recipe for crabapple jelly. (Although I guess it's classified as jam, since the actual fruit is used, not just the juice.)

Homemade blueberry jam and preserves... My daughter and my mom picked 40+ pounds of blueberries last summer and made tons of it. So good Homemade peach preserves are awesome, too!
