    I don’t eat jelly much, but when I do it’s grape.

    And I prefer a more secular jelly.

    I’m a strong believer in the separation of church and jelly.

    Jelly ruined my peanut butter sandwiches as a kid, and I won’t ever, ever, not ever, forgive it for that.

    The only place jelly should be seen or heard from is in a donut. That’s it. Blueberry is preferred; strawberry acceptable.

    And I think this should be mandated at the Federal level, along with an end to shaky cams, and even the hint of a 17-game NFL season.

    my mom canned strawberry jam in mason jars from my dad’s strawberry garden…. my dad’s garden had dozens of 5 gallon buckets with holes in the sides of the buckets to grow shoots (runners) of strawberry plants…my dad grew everything depending on the season….

    BTW It’s quite the coincidence that you bring this up, because traditionally i buy grape jelly, but my wife recent brought some strawberry jam home and it reminded me of my parents jam and I forgot how great it was with PB.

    BTW II: I eat a lot PBJ sandwiches…. I roughly eat 3 to 4 sandwiches per week on sliced sourdough for breakfast for the past 30+ years. great source of fuel to kick off the day.

    The only time i would eat jelly/jam is on
    toast.

    And the only thing i ever put on toast
    is cinnamon.

    With that out of the way,
    the answer is:
    Peach

    Same Trappist brand, but different favor: Seedless Raspberry Jam. Off the charts on my home made (via bread machine) flaxseed Prairie Bread.

    seedless raspberry and blackberry

    The biggest difference between jelly, jam, and preserves is how much of the original fruit is used to make them. Jelly has the smoothest consistency and is made by crushing a fruit and discarding the solid chunky leftovers. This leaves only the fruit juice, which is then mixed with a substance called pectin and heated to form the gelatinous spread. Jam is similarly made by crushing a fruit, but this spread leaves in most of the solid pieces of the fruit’s fibers and seeds (if they’re small enough and safe to consume) to give it a spreadable consistency. Of the three, preserves use the most of the fruit and are simply chopped smaller pieces of fruit that are mixed with sugar to keep them fresh and combined with a syrup or jam to contain them.
