Do you ever get tired of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? If so, get ready to spread some joy with these delicious jam, jelly, and preserves recipes. This unique collection of recipes can take your peanut butter sandwich to a whole new level!
Backwoods Chokecherry Jelly
Chokecherries grow in abundance here in the Northwest. Although they can be quite astringent, they're often used to make excellent syrup, wine, and jelly! So toss the grape jelly and spread some chokecherry jelly on your peanut butter sandwich instead!
Quince Preserves
Quince may not very popular in the U.S., but in the Middle East, quince are adored and often used to make this delicious quince preserves. This unique fruit is a cross between a pear and an apple. Once cooked, their texture is transformed into a heavenly treat that's hard to resist!
Cherry Jam
This cherry jam recipe can be prepared with or without pectin. The luscious texture is more preserves-like, and is studded with chunks of tart cherries. Besides spreading it on toast, try it as a topping over ice cream, cheesecake, or a log of goat cheese!
No Pectin Strawberry Rhubarb Jam
Strawberries and rhubarb are a match made in heaven, especially in this wonderfully tart strawberry rhubarb jam! If you love the classic taste of strawberry rhubarb pie, you need to try this jam!
Peach Preserves
This homemade peach preserves is so much better than anything you can find at the grocery store. It only requires four ingredients and pectin isn't one of them! Ditch the preservatives and make this homemade peach preserves instead!
Saskatoon Berry Jam
Saskatoon berries are known by many names including serviceberries, June berries, shadbush, and prairie berries. Saskatoon berry jam is a little sweet, a little tart, with hints of almond. Because the berries have small seeds, the texture is similar to raspberry jam!
Cardamom Fig Jam
Is there anything better than figs and cardamom? I think not! I find myself using this combination often in various recipes, with this cardamom fig jam/preserves topping the list! One of my favorite ways to enjoy it is over French vanilla ice cream, so yum!
Easy Loquat Jam
Loquats are a favorite in the Middle East, but often overlooked in the U.S. They're delicious right off the tree with an edible skin that can be peeled, if preferred. Although they can be slightly tart when not fully ripe, they make an excellent loquat jam that tastes similar to apricot jam.
Plum Jam
Plum jam is tangy and sweet and one of the easiest jams to prepare! I like it chunky, but if you prefer it smooth, just use an immersion blender to get the desired texture!
Wild Dandelion Jelly
Dandelions are everywhere in spring, making them available to anyone who wants to make wild dandelion jelly! Besides being gorgeous, this unique jelly has a honey-like flavor, with hints of lemon. It also makes an excellent gift for the foodies in your life!
Mulberry Jam
This mulberry jam is a wonderful way to use a surplus of mulberries, especially if you're lucky enough to have a mulberry tree. This chunky jam is also excellent on ice cream or as a cheesecake topping!
Montana Mountain Berry Jam
This mountain berry jam is made with a combination of huckleberries, juiced Oregon grapes, and saskatoon berries. It's one of my favorite berry jams and is even better than plain huckleberry jam!
