I missed the deadline, but still love jam! Just got back from Oregon–have you tried Marionberry jam? To die for!
Shanna
I like grape jelly. Traditional, typical, boring, but we can’t help what we love, right?
B Miller
I love them all, but suppose I’m mostly a jelly type 🙂 Raspberry or strawberry depending on my mood of the day!
stephanie
Preserves: one with lots of fruit with little sugar! Strawberry rhubarb
Carol
My favorite is raspberry jam. It makes great jam bars!
Mary
I prefer preserves on toast or English muffins — apricot or blackberry, please! — but prefer the smooth texture of jam or jelly for cookies (for use as a layer in bar cookies or as a filling for thumbprint cookies).

Lauren
I like raspberry jam the best, even with the seeds!

Homemade raspberry freezer jam! This year I think didn’t add enough sugar so it is very loose, but still tart and tastes like summer 🙂
beth
Cherry preserves are my favorite!
beth
Angelina
Raspberry jam – the delicious sugary kind. 🙂
Kim
I really like strawberry jam, especially our homemade strawberry jam. I also like strawberry-rhubarb, but the last one I bought was so sweet, I couldn’t taste the rhubarb.
Nancy
My favorite is one that my grandma made years ago when I was growing up. Plum jelly. When I taste it now, I always think of her.
Heather
My favorite are preserves! My mother-in-law makes an amazing passionfruit and mango preserve. It’s delicious!
Michelle
I prefer jam, especially if it’s strawberry!
JoanS
I like fig preserves, but living in a city, it’s difficult to get figs to make my own and the storebought ones somehow just don’t make the cut!!
Kristen
Raspberry jam. No one in my family likes it, so when I get to have some, I could probably down a loaf of bread with butter and raspberry jam. 🙂
Berenice
Strawberry Preserves ! with toast and some tea. I don’t need anything else.
Erin
I love cherry and strawberry jams. I enjoy them most straight from the jar.

Cherry jam. Alternatively: Black cherry jam. I also love preserves. 🙂 Mmm, fruit.

Strawberry Jam and Blueberry Preserves- yummmmmm

We make a lot of jams ourselves. My favorite was the time we added the pectin at the wrong time and ended up with raspberry ice cream topping instead of raspberry jam.
Favorite though…..strawberry jam.

Karen CA
I like all of them and my favorite is a berry of some kind, blackberry, raspberry, but that cherry sounds pretty good, love them, even peach is good. Thanks for the opportunity to sample these.
Karin Muserallo
I love preserves of any kind. Two of my personal favorites are fig and pear preserves. We Southern girls have these fruits in almost in every back yard! Preserves seem to be the truest essence of fruit flavor in a jar! I love the idea that Smuckers has actually got some regional fruit! My sentimental favorite is strawberry preserves. My grandmother and mother both made them! <3
Louis
I like blueberry and strawberry preserves.
Meryl
Strawberry Jam.
pat
I have to admit I do not know the difference between Jelly, jam and preserves. But I will eat any kind of berry on my toast!

Erin
Oh I LOVE preserves! My favorite flavors are Blueberry and Strawberry! MMMMM!
Rhonda S
Jam is easier to spread in a pinch; however, preserves have a much richer texture and flavor in my opinion! 🙂
Pam
Raspberry jam is my hands-down favorite!
Cindy
I know I would love the triple berry jam; but the tart-cherry preserves would be my second choice.
Donna G
I like jam because there is less sugar. Preserves I think have less than jam, but I dunno if preserves come in grape…
Martha
I always reach for the strawberry preserves
Becca
Peach is my favorite… and I think it’d have to be peach jam
Karen
I prefer jelly on sandwiches, but prefer baking with preserves. The cherry sounds awesome!
Jan Harris
Not sure if it’s a jam or preserve, but I love orange marmalade, love that bitter sweet taste.
Jan Harris
Not sure if it’s a jam or preserve, but I love orange marmalade, love that bitter sweet taste.
Melissa
I love peach jam!
Michelle
I love raspberry preserves. Usually I put it in some sort of baked good and combine it with chocolate. 🙂
Leah
Hands down, strawberry preserves. Nothing beats this classic. It’s the best dessert substitute while babysitting, when I want to avoid the kids getting too much of a sugar rush!
Maureen
I am more a jam girl. I tend towards a cherry flavor too.
Martha in KS
Jams, jellies, preserves, I love you all so much, and prefer those with chunks of fruit. But my favorite is your cousin – Orange Marmalade. Sadly, the FAA regulation of 3 ounces or less has put a cramp in my buying local jams/jellies when on vacation.
Cindi
I like preserves. My favorite is Fall Harvest Cinnamon Apple Preserves. One day when I was making Carmelitas, I discovered (a bit late) that I didn’t have any Smucker’s Caramel Topping. I substituted the Cinnamon Apples preserves, and the resulting bars were very good!
sharlene
saskatoon jam is my favorite, or orange marmalade.
angela
i prefer jam or preserves. (dislike jelly). saskatoon jam is my favorite, but i’ll take strawberry or blueberry too.
Shari
peach jam!
Rachel!
boysenberry jam!! i love the slight chunkiness and tartness from the berry. delicious on honeywheat toast!!
Tierney M.
Hmmmm…I’m torn between Orange marmalade and Cherry preserves. Both are my absolute favorites.
NanW
Homemade Huckleberry jam can’t be beat!
Jennifer
I love jam and preserves but don’t actually like jelly (my kids do, though.) My favorite flavor is strawberry, but I love to use orange marmalade in recipes.
crystal
Love preserves and jam equally, and my favorite flavor is cherry.
Pat
My vote goes to the Apricot/Peach. Love to bake with those flavors.
Kara
I love blueberry preserves! YUM!
Rebecca
I love red currant jelly! Takes me back to my grandmother’s kitchen.
Kari
My favorite is Raspberry jam with seeds. Yummy. Homemade is best.
Sue
In the last couple of years I have become truly fond of apricot preserves. When I was younger I hated apricot anything so this is an interesting twist for me. I’ve used the Smucker’s Orchard’s Finest Apricot and Cherry. They were both really great. I’d love to try the other flavors too.
Pam S
I love Smucker’s strawberry preserves!
Claudia Holland
Orange marmalade is my favorite, but then after that would be the tart cherry. Yummy
Kat
I like grape jelly and homemade seedless dewberry jelly.
Sara
I am probably pretty boring–my favorite is strawberry jam! I love that stuff!
CindyD
Smucker’s strawberry jam. That’s the kind we ALWAYS have in the refrigerator.
Karen
Jam! Blueberry first then apricot.
But really, fruit and sugar is just plain yummy!
kate s
My favorite is apple butter – not sure which category that falls into….
Erin
I probably buy jam or preserves more than jelly, but I can’t say that I truly have a definite preference. My favorite flavor is blackberries.
Janet
I love raspberry and apricot preserves, I bake with them alot and I only use Smuckers. I love the orange marmalade on toast.
Mary
I love to have little chunks or bits of fruit in my spreads – so would that be a jam or a preserve? Anyway, these all look delicious!
tiffany
Cherry preserves is my favorite flavor!
Kathy
Cherry preserves just look and taste the most homemade and authentic, imo.
mrsblocko
I can never remember the difference between jam, jelly and preserves. That apple cinnamon flavor looks really yummy though!
Valerie
If we’re going store-bought, I love Smucker’s apricot preserves. My favorite jam, however, is my mom’s homemade peach or strawberry – num!
Supergoo
Preserves = Yum. Any kind of berry – berrylicious! I love it all.
Lesley
My favorite flavor would be Red Tart Cherry – great on toast and scones.
Jenn
Strawberry preserves for the win. Like a poster above, I agree that buttered toast with strawberry preserves is a total comfort food, as it a peanut butter & strawberry preserves sandwich on homestyle white bread.
Robyn
Like many who have posted, I’m a strawberry preserves girl. There is nothing I find as comforting as a piece of buttered toast with strawberry preserves. I like other preserved fruits as well, but strawberry is my favorite! I’m don’t really like “jelly” at all. And I’m not entirely sure what “jam” is.
Patti L
Strawberry preserves it is! I love the chunky texture! YUM!
Darlene
I love to use raspberry jam in the thumbprint cookies my mother called “Cream Cheese Cookies” because cream cheese is one of the ingredients in the cookie dough. You have to use jam (not preserves) in that cookie, otherwise the circle of raspberry would be sloppy looking. We always use a “baby spoon” (one left over from when we were babies) to carefully place the jam in the center of the dough (neatness counts in our family).
Allison W
I’m a raspberry jam girl all the way!
Carol G
Raspberry preserves are my favorite.
Erin M.
Cherry preserves!
Rodzilla
I knew somebody would say marmalade lol, I’m definitely a jam or preserve guy, I like the fruit chunks.
Martha in Georgia
I have always been partial to strawberry preserves but my boys (husband and 15 year old son) LOVE cherry.
Susan
Jam, apricot, and I just happen to buy .Smucker’s.
lindsay weiss
Orchard’s Finest Tart Cherry Preserves are my favorite condiment ever! I can eat that stuff straight from the jar.
I also use the OF preserves when I bake my world famous Tart Cherry Cheddar Bars. (And by world famous I mean…our household.)
Amber L
Strawberry Jam.
Thank you for the opportunity!

Meredith @ The Little Bee
Strawberry jam is my favorite, especially when it’s homemade using strawberries picked at the local strawberry patch!
Though I became hooked on marmalade when I was living in England…on toast, on scones, on everything!
Carly
raspberry preserves WITH seeds 🙂
April
I love peach or nectarine jam. I prefer jam or perserves over jelly. I have a jar of Smucker’s Orchard Perserves Peach and Apricot in the fridge. I got it at Target.
Cheryl R
I’m hooked on cherry preserves.
marleen
My husband and I now live in Washington state and got hooked on raspberry jam with scones!! That is our favorite flavor with blackberry jam a close second.
Fallon
I love cherry preserves. I like the chunky factor and it goes great on top of plain Greek yogurt!
Sara
I love preserves, and strawberry is my favorite, with peach being a close second!
christine in pdx
Preserves – yum! strawberry rhubarb is yummy. My favorite though should include marionberries – a triple berry or peach/marionberry.

Strawberry preserves are my favorite!! 🙂

I love blackberry preserves, particularly on buckwheat pancakes. Yum!

Judy
Strawberry preserves are the best, a reminder of a summer day.
Elaine
Hard to beat Smucker’s Strawberry Preserves.
Tracy
I love having raspberry jam or preserves on hand at all times. Raspberry is great in thumbprint cookies, baked into a coffeecake or swirled on the tops of brownies before baking.
jan
Preserves, yum!
Christy
I prefer preserves as well, I like the chunkiness, and I think they retain more of the fresh fruit flavor. I have tried the smuckers perserves, the “Coastal Valley Peach Apricot” is the best, it’s sweet and tastes so natural- perfect for the centers of thumbprint cookies! My local store doesnt carry the blueberry but I’d love to try it.
Katie
I’ve always been partial to strawberry preserves 🙂
Gloria
I love prefer triple berry jam on toast, or melted, poured on top of, and then firmed up on cheese cake!
Lauren
Lingonberry preserves, so tart and delicious
Mellisa W
I like preserves, big chunks of fruit. Thanks!
gwen
strawberry preserves all the way although raspberry is a close second….
Carole Resnick
I also like marmalades the best — any flavor of marmalade Love Smuckers Triple Berry nice mix of berries
DPLK
I am a marmalade girl through and through, and I am probably most partial to a good sweet orange marmalade. Of the ones you mentioned, though, I would pick jam, sour cherry.
Rikki
I love preserves. Getting a chunky piece of cherry is the best. Thanks for the give away!
Cheryl
Love boysenberry preserves! Also had Triple Berry which is also good.
nik
Blueberry preserves, on so many things! 🙂
