What about boysenberry or blueberry or orange marmalade? Surely you have enough room in your palate for some variety.

Well, there's no accounting for taste, I guess.

I hate all those little seed things. They pollute the jam.

They make seedless jam, y'know.

Raspberry jam is delicious. My mom makes her own and has stocked us well.

I missed this before, and that is sheer blasphemy! My grandma made the best raspberry jam

And I do spread pb on the bread first, wipe the knife clean on the other piece of bread, then spread the honey or jam on the other slice. It's a system that works well for me.

The best jelly in the world is "Mustang Grape Jelly."

Mustang grapes are wild grapes that grow in Texas. They are dark purple and are tart.

It is exquisite, and my dad is going to be making a batch this summer.

The last is used as a precursor to castor oil so the castor oil doesn't taste as bad.
