Inspired by the peanut butter thread...
What are your favorite brands of jams, jellies, preserves, and fruit spreads?
Which flavors?
Do you make your own? (Got a recipe?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll start. 
Favorite brand is Smuckers, since they offer so many flavors and textures. I  strawberry jam, w/ or w/out seeds.
I also really like Dickinson's, especially Lemon Curd, Lime Curd, Apple Butter, and Pumpkin Butter.

I discovered in a restaurant once that apple cinnamon tastes really good on dark rye toast. Go figure.

My mother makes THE BEST freezer strawberry jam -- she gets her berries from a local grower, and I think the variety is Early Glow. She uses the Sure Gel in the pink package, follows the directions, but keeps half of the quantity just about whole and mushes the rest.
Two of my aunts and I make home-made apricot-pineapple jam. That combination can be an acquired taste, but good on toast!

I usually make my own jams with fruits I grow in my garden. I sometimes make mixed fruit jam. Apple Butter is a favourite of this Brit!!

The summer before last I had several bags of sliced pears in the freezer that we had picked from a neighbor's tree, along with some frozen strawberries and blueberries, then two hurricanes parked over AR and left us without power for several days. To keep from losing all the fruit, I made strawberry/pear jam and blueberry/pear jam. Both of them turned out very good, in fact my mom bought me a bunch of strawberries last year so I could make some more. 
I also made several jars of peach preserves (my favorite) and a few jars of peach/mandarin orange because I was short on peaches. It tastes good too, the oranges give it the slightest tart kick.
Peach jam and strawberry jam are probably my two top faves, but I really love all varieties of jam and jelly. Oh and I can't forget blackberry! Mmmmmmm, blackberry.
I'm thinking biscuits are in order for breakfast tomorrow.

Oops, I just saw this. I'll be glad share my recipe when I get back to Minnesota where it is on my home computer. The Temple oranges made the best batch. I also finished up the citrus before leaving town and made a batch with grapefruit, a couple kinds of oranges and the rest of the lemons. It was very good but not quite up to the Temple batch.
