Smucker's Red Plum Jam, 18 oz

This jam is great. It's got that perfect mix of sweet with a bit of tart. I'm not a fan of overly sweet jams, and prefer a bit of tang to enhance the flavor. The texture is thicker than most jellies, but just by a bit, so not nearly as thick as an apple butter. The flavor is bolder than many jams, (but subtly) and you can still taste it on toast when drinking a strongly flavored orange spice tea or hot chocolate. Many jams taste like nothing with morning tea, and especially with hot chocolate. This is a morning favorite at our house, and we keep it in stock! About the only jam I like better for every day is red currant jam or fruit spread , and it's hard to find that at all stateside since Hero stopped making theirs.

This jam has a nice balance of sweetness and some tart from the red plums. Excellent spreabability with no clumpy texture when spreading on bread. Spreads well even on crumbly biscuits without tearing them to shreds. Like most jams I find it to be a bit too sweet, but no sweeter than any other commercially made jams. Overall good flavor and bright color. You just can't go wrong with Smucker's.
