Oh my goodness. Actual Jelly!! That's a great subject too!
So are you a jam, jelly, preserves person? (is there a form I'm forgetting?) What is your favorite kind of jellijampreserveish spread? And.... have you ever made your own?
I am DEFINITELY a jam girl. I think that 20 something years of spreading pb&j on my kids' sandwiches, (they allll wanted jelly) also enforced that I am not a fan of spreading jelly. I am not sure it even WANTS to be spread around, tbh. So yeah, jam... it's so wonderfully spreadable and is still not too chunky where you would get an entire strawberry on your piece of toast. (not that that's a terrible thing... just just hard to juggle at 5:30 am).
My FAVORITE, and yes I sooo have a favorite is.... blackberry! It reminds of me of my childhood growing up in the pacific northwest picking blackberries that never seemed to have an end. And, I just think that the taste of blackberries is beyond heavenly.
I am not a canner, BUT, I would LOVE to spend a day with a patient canner who could handle me getting involved and being a super day one beginner at it. If my cans didn't seal, well, they would just have to be eaten immediately I guess, or be the star of a toast party at work.
