Apricot or Raspberry and it has to be Mackays.
It is only now as an adult I can appreciate jam. Was never allowed as a child because I used to get covered in it, hair and everything, not sure how  |

"I love apricot, mainly because we only had cheap strawberry as kids, with lumps in it, urgh!
Cherry conserve is lovely too  "
We only had apricot at Christmas. Mum used it to stick the marzipan to the Christmas cake and we got to have what was left. |

"Apricot…. But I’m liking the strawberry with gin and lime idea…. "
Soak your strawberries in your favourite gin for anything between a couple of days to a couple of weeks. Make your jam, and stir in some lime juice and some of the lime zest.
If you wanna get wild, finely chop a small red chilli into it too. You get a delightful post bite kick.

My Brother used to make me jam sandwiches and cut them into little squares and sneak them to me like Colombian crack dealer  |

I'm not really into cheap jam. You know the 'smart price' ones. They are sugar with colouring and jelly.
Jam , for me, MUST be HIGH FRUIT low sugar.... even then it's got tons of sugar in .. not that i'm dieting but jam is supposed to be conserved fruit..... fruit..
So .... in order ( marmalade would be number 1 but it's banned so )
1. Raspberry
2. Apricot
3. Pineapple
4. Ginger
5. Plum
6. Damson
7. Rhubarb
8. Loganberry
9. Blueberry
10. Spiced apple. |

"Black cherry conserve."
Love a good black cherry conserve. I really like a good apricot or raspberry jam too.
Wilkins & Sons usually do nice ones, but I’ve found some of the supermarket’s own ‘best’ ranges are great as well.
Marmalade….a nice bitter Seville orange with peel. |
