Best Jam in the world

[Zeno]

Not Guitar Jam. Jam, the best spread on toast in the world and great in the morning. But I also like jam and toast for a snack at night.

I have six jars of wild Huckleberry Jam from the Oregon Coast. Homemade jam by my sister, a Christmas gift, and hand picked from our favorite place near the ocean. The jars of jam are worth about $1,000 each. I plan on taking them into a no-limit game and using them for cash chips.

Anyway, also from Oregon, I have Blackberry jam, homemade but by Mom. Christmas gift. Giving homemade jam is a Tradition in my family. The blackberries are the early kind that come out in June and grow in shady places, creepy vines that crawl along the ground and along old logs etc. Small berries but the very best tasting in the entire universe. They also make the most superb pie in the cosmos. You would sell your soul to the devil for a single bite. It's that good.

The red type huckleberries also make superb pie.

All sorts of berries are all around this crazy globe.

Others favorties?

Strawberry/Rhubarb

Blackberry jam is great, it's been ages since I've had any.

I like strawberry and raspberry jam, both made by my mom, seceret recipe too.... she puts herb in it [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

seriously though, she has some sort of secret tehnique, makes the berries taste fresh.

Store-bought, I really like Trader Joe's Sour Cherry preserves. But of course home-made is best.

Crabapple. Home made, where you get to see the cheese-cloth strung across the kitchen and vicious little fruits become something beautiful.

Those home or family 'secret recipes' or little tricks to tease some extra flavor out of different raw materials is what makes 'homemade' really mean something.

Rasberries are great. They are fantastic on some types of breakfast cereal - organic grain type cereals especially, and Wheaties also. Really adds some zest to breakfast.

jam on cereal??? wow, I have never heard that. Yeah, there is some sort of technique she does before she freezes the jam, not sure what though. damn, now I am craving some strawberry jam [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img].

btw, the NW rules for berries.
