I’m one of those crazy people that like grocery shopping and the kind of products that I really like buying and eating are the ones that are essentially like what you would make at home, except with the bonus of not having to make it at home yourself. And by this I mean products without added numbers, preservatives or anything else added to them that will allow them to sit on a supermarket shelf for years. Good for the supermarket and manufacturer but not good for us.
Anathoth is a New Zealand brand that my friend Queen Viv first told me about. She was rapturous about their products and when I visited there last year I brought back some of their products. What I liked was the fact that they only used ingredients that one would use at home in their products. The jams contain just fruit and sugar and nothing else. Yep, no pectins, preservatives, colours or flavours just the two ingredients that we would use when we make a jam.
Thanks to Anathoth, six lucky Not Quite Nigella readers will win a box of six Anathoth jams! The six pack box contains six delicious jams including an apricot jam, raspberry jam, strawberry jam, three berry jam and their latest rhubarb and red berry jam which has rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries and sugar and has a gorgeous dolloping consistency-perfect for Mother’s Day breakfast or scones and all of the jams have just the right amount of sweetness to them. For a chance to win this all you have to do is tell me about your favourite jam flavour! Simply add your answer as a comment to the story. The competition ends at midnight AEST 8th of May, 2011. You can enter this competition once daily and it is open to anyone in Australia.
***The winners are:
Glenda A. from Qld
Catherine D. from NSW
Stefanie L. from NSW
Barbara S. from Vic
Imogen M. from Tas
Pam W. from NSW***
Best of luck!
Lots of love,

Hello Lorraine
Isn’t this rain in Sydney today tragic!
I love a good strawberry jam and grocery shopping. I found peanut butter Lindor balls the other day and it cheered me up no end.

Favourite jam flavour, now that’s a tricky one! I love trying out new and unique jam flavours whenever I come across them, though I do always come back to Strawberry jam.
Strawberry jam and cream cheese on toast is a little slice of heaven, yum!
Yum, reading the word “scones” are now making me crave it! Warm, freshly baked scones with cream and strawberry jam will be a treat for todays morning tea!
They look delicious!
My favourite jam flavour is definitely apricot and ginger jam!! Its zingy with the perfect amount of acidic flavour and the lovely sweetness of apricot. It has the lovely jelly-like texture of ginger too! how can you go wrong, yum!
Yum Yum Yum delicous apricot jam – and beautiful and all natural!
The Rhubarb jam sounds fantastic. I do love a good Fig & Almond jam with light and airy scones, warm from the oven, & a good dollop of clotted cream.
Real fruit what a bonus from the past, when fruit trees where in every backyard and home preserves were made in most kitchens. Welcome back.
I love, love Anathoth Strawberry Jam. Nothing like it on toast to healthily satisfy my sweet tooth.
My favourite jam flavour would have to be blackcurrant. Mmm… I want some jam now!
Yum!!! I love strawberry jam on my crepes but I also have this gorgeous one at the moment called balsamic strawberry jam it’s just divine! Would love to try these ones especially the new rhubarb one, yum!!
Homemade jam is great, but if I can lay my hands on high quality, no additive, pre-made anything I will often buy it – just ‘cos I’m lazy, really.
I made blackberry jam a few weeks ago and it really was just the bomb – even if I do say so myself!
My favourite ever was my mothers home made bramble and apple- its a very old traditional favourite! Cheers!
I love rhubarb jam. Have never made it with berries but it sounds mouth watering. Rhuberry jam yum.
These are the jams my Gran would have loved! She passed away three months before i had my first child, who is nearly 17:)
But not a day goes by without thinking of her, especially when jam, cream and a BIG scone is concerned!
Thanks New Zealand
Opps Raspberry is my fav flav
My favourite jam…my mum makes a lot of really nice jam, and my favourite at the moment is her kiwi and passionfruit jam, espcially on warm toast!
My favourite jam is plum. Not any old kind though! I love the Polish kind as it is quite sour & reminds me of my childhood as my father used to make it. Its yummy on everything & now my son is hooked too!
my favourite is strawberry. it was the first flavour of jam ive ever tried. i used to really hate jam. i would never eat it. but one day i tried anatoth strawberry jam. AND I LOVED IT! and now im a massive jam addict.
Apricot Jam is for celebrations. Be it jam and toast on a cold winter’s morn or apricot baked ham at Christmas,apricot jam creates family memories of times of happiness.
My Nana’s home made apricot jam wins hands down. When my sister and I were young we often stayed with my grandparents on the farm. On a winters morning the door on the wood stove would be open and my sister and I would sit toasting our bread on a large toasting fork. Once toasted then spread with butter and Nan”s Jam. YUM YUM!
I have many Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon, Mango. I cant choose I just Love JAM
At our household, we all totally love the Anathoth jams. My fav is jam is apricot jam. Goes soo well with toast, butter, and some cheese
All time, hands down fave is apricot jam. Yes its a little nana-ish and pretty old school but just perfect when having a sneaky snack after hours of sewing/knitting
. Love your blog !
Back in the 60′s we had acres of blackberries growing wild across the road from our house in the Dandenongs. Our hands were purple from picking them most days after school, even our dog ate them off the bushes. They were sweet and huge these days they’d be called organic – the term hadn’t been invented then. We ate them fresh for as long as we could and our family made enough fabulous blackberry jam to last till the next season. The words blackberry jam takes me back to a time of innocent fun, more appreciated now than then.
Mmm, the rhubarb and red berry jam sounds good.
My fave jam flavour without a doubt is black cherry, love those huge chunks of juicy black cherries. I havn’t made it myself though so myself buying rediculously expensive french cherry jam in a very small jar. Now that my two small children have started eating jam too I think the Anathoth sized jam pots will be a far more practical option!
Favourite jams? anything Anathoth make! For years, everytime we went to NZ we brought back a suitcase full of their jams, so was delighted when some of their jams became available in Sydney. Have never tried the Rhubarb and Red Berry flavour which sounds to die for. My mouth is watering at the thought of two favourites in one jam. Yum.
Apricot Jam is number one for me. Perfect in any season!
I have tried these jams, they really are terrific… would be fantastic to win this prize… yum. My favourite jam, without a doubt, is a rare one – rose petals jam, followed closely by a more common one – raspberry, which is at least always available in the shops… Thank you for the chance to win!
Raspberry is my favourite. Sweet but with a little *bite*. Especially on super, super delicious bread – toasted.
Strawberry jam is my favourite. It goes perfectly with so many things especially scone and cream
Not surprised you found yet another NZ firm producing ‘natural’ products. They seem to excel at thinking ‘pure and healthy’. I have had some fab Manuka honey from across the Tasman and make my own yogurts every week using a NZ base – tastes quite different!
Fave jam; actually bitter orange marmalade – guess that does not count, so I would say fig or apricot. The Anathoth rhubarb and red berry jam very much appeals.
I love Lilli Pilly jam but it’s soooooo hard to find and usually costs an arm and a leg.
I need to find someone with a treeful of berries and see if I can make my own someday…
I like any flavour that might be out of the ordinary, so my favourite when I can find it is gooseberry jam. I can see that Anathoth make a rhubarb and red berry jam which I am very excited to try!!
I’d have to go with Apricot. It’s the only jam that makes me want to grab a spoon and eat it straight from the jar. Who needs scones, toast or anything else to spread it on.
I’m pretty traditional. It’s raspberries for me. =) Or any other berries for that matter.
Gauva jelly,Cumquat jam,Rosella jam,all go well with Cheese Scones!these are all old recipes handed down from family,well worth a try,and definately delicious!
I adore Apricot jam, most especially made by my Mum!
The rhubarb jam sounds yummy! I love homemade strawberry jam with vanilla bean which is delicious on toast, scones, sponge cakes etc..
actually, after i submitted my entry earlier, i realised my favourite jam is the one that’s not found in australia, only in the Eastern Europe… It’s made of a variety of berry related to strawberry but it’s quite different, the taste is quite tart and totally unique, not like any other in the world. It has its own name, and is translated into English as ‘wild strawberry’, but as many times as I tasted jams here that are claiming to be ‘wild strawberry jam’, they are not, they are made from strawberry. I guess the only way to eat it again is to go back to Europe…
Hi Lorraine,
I love everything about jams, they are mouth watering, filled with so much richness, taste and texture, and as Manu Feildel describes, it “just explodes in your mouth”.
I’ve tasted so many local and overseas varieties of jams in my life but the one that takes the cake is Bacon Jam. My mum got the recipe for Bacon Jam from your blog a while ago. The jam simply tastes heavenly, filled with the right amount of sweetness of brown sugar and maple syrup, spiciness of Tabasco sauce and earthiness of coffee and black pepper, that create a perfect marriage of flavors for the smoked bacon
(how good is that? my absolute guilty pleasure!). The succulent texture is simply amazing on a perfect cut of French toast, amazingly delicious, and I can honestly say the flavor hits the right note on my taste buds (every single one of them)! Hint to readers here: you should try it. 
I’m a fan of home made, organic recipes as they are free of preservatives and full of natural goodness. Anathoth Jams would make a great companion to my ‘breakfast in bed’ kit. Looking forward to try it!
Cheers,
Barbara
I’m a huge fan of ‘home-style’ foods myself, but you gotts admit there’s a place for those ‘fake’ foods, like that hideous orange American sliced cheese…
As a small child I lived with my Nana. In those days people grew their own veges, kept chickens and had fruit trees. In one of the chicken pens grew a wonderful.leafy apricot tree that each year produced an abundance of fruit. Nana made stewed apricots,apricot chutney ,apricot tarts and the most wonderful apricot jam. To this day I still enjoy apricot jam on my toast!
Currently, 12 weeks pregnant with our first baby. ‘We’ are craving ‘our’ favourite Anathoth Strawberry jam, either on toasted thickly sliced sourdough; or fresh rye rolls. If the strawberry runs out, it would be raspberry, or ..the list goes on! It’s jam, jam, jam please for us.
blueberry jam with a splash of vodka, boozy and sweet.
i visited prahan markets earlier his year and i had a sample of home made jam there. it was peach vanilla and honey. subtly sweet with a nice touch of tartness. it was so nice on the crispy baguette with the big chunk of butter. mmmmm
apricot and strawberry jam are my favourite ,I put them on bread, rolls, scones, jatze biscuits anything reilly!
I love fig jam spread thickly on toasted soy and linseed sourdough toast! But I remember having ‘rosella’ jam made by my grandmother….they had a rosella tree in their garden. It was absolutely delicious but I haven’t had any for years!
Love your blog! Hope the Easter bunny finds you…..
Jam is an essential ingredient and is always around our house. We use it in pastries, on crepes, in puddings, on toast and especially love it on a hot loaf of fresh bread! Plum is the universal favourite. Hubby loves fig too! I’m more into apricot, but strawberry is fine!
we have just had home made beautiful fig jam on toast for breakfast. Would love to try these jams from NZ.
I love homemade marmalade jam. It has a lovely texture, isn’t runny like some jams I’ve tasted and isn’t too sweet. I love it on toast for breakfast with a nice hot cup of tea.
I absolutely love strawberry jam, on freshly cooked and piping hot, homemade scones, smothered in jam and whipped cream on top… oh so good ! Today is the perfect day for it mmmmmmm yes, today is definately the day for them !
strawberry is my favourite. i’ve actually tried anahoth’s jam once or twice before and i loved it! its not too sweet and really does taste home-made. i was even asking my sister where she bought it from because i thought maybe she bought it from harris farm or some specialty food store – but no she bought it from woolworths apparently. i didn’t know they were a kiwi company til now =)
love lime and ginger combo,tried making as a marmalade,turned out yummy
I love to try new jam flavors and tend to buy the ones containing fruits that are exceptional for you. But I still try every new flavor I find. My latest were pomegranate and cranberry conserves
I still have a long way to go as far as trying every flavor that exists. My problem seems to be getting jams that are rich in flavor and don’t have an overabundance of sugar. That is why my flavor of choice for a long time was apricot.
My absolute favourite jam is Rosella Jam, also known as native hibiscus, the same fruit that is in those little jars with syrup for putting in sparkling wine. My dad grows them for that company and tea makers, and our home trips just happen to coincide with the picking season… Yummm!!
definately raspberry hands down that flavour gives me the feeling of fresh fields in the summer
Ilike apricot it is full of flavour and you can have it on most everything ice-cream, toast,crumpets.
My favorite flavored jam is fig.
Whether it be flavored with pineapple or ginger is irrelevant but those big juicy sweet lumps of figgy figs are wonderful.
Lainey
My favourite jam flavour has to be guava. We used to have a guava tree in our front yard when I was growing up, and whenever the fruits would get ripe, my mother and I would make a huge vat of the stuff. Good times.
And I agree with you about the preservatives. Ick.
Nice post.
Hi,Anathoth is a beautiful product. Just one point, all jams contain pectin it naturally occurs in fruit and is the compound that causes gelling of the jam to occur.
Generally speaking, if additional pectin is added it means that the producer has used less fruit or the fruit used is pectin deficient.
Fig jam is yummy & versatile – lovely topping for toast, yet equally delicious on a cracker with cheese!
If these jams are available in Sydney I must be living under a mushroom. If not, is there any word on when they might be exported?
I have been known to go to great lenghts just to sample the best. We do not have Anathoth jams here…therefore, should I be fortunate enough to win, I would gladly pay for shipping charges!
Favorite jam…hands down…blackberry though strawberry-rhubarb comes close second tied with blueberry jam!
favourite jam flavour: anything with rhubarb. I love rhubarb, and it jams so well, so I’d be very excited to try the rhubarb & red berry jam!
Definitely strawberry! On warm croissants, on scones fresh from the oven… yum! Although, I did have some homemade blueberry jam on toast this morning!
Yum i love this brand, my favourite by is boysenberry!!
Apricot! Especially with a batch of freshly baked cheese scones!
My grandmother used to make peach and ginger jam. Different, yes, but also very yummy.
Straight strawberry is always a winner with my fruit strait from the garden but I now make Strawberry, gooseberry and rhubarb jam – yep – all together and it is a total winner again from my garden! Yummy scrumpscidoscious!
Can’t decide between the fig jam that Mum used to make when I was younger and apricot jam. I will never forgive my husband for eating the whole jar of home made apricot jam, given to us by a dear friend, that i had planned to eat the morning we came home fro our honeymoon. Vegemite on toast just didn’t cut it that morning!
Blueberry Jam definately perfect on scones, fruit toast, fresh bread…yummy!!
A friend gave me a jar of her nanna’s homemade raspberry jam as a housewarming gift. It was a really sweet gesture and the jam was delicious.
At our last house we had two giant plum trees which late spring time would have slaving over the tiny stove making jars and jars of plum jam – the ultimate xmas gift for friends and family. (Plum and cardomom jam was one of my proudest creations!)I have a dedicated empty jar box that I keep under the water heater, ready for the next glut of fruit that finds its way to me.
My favourite flavour? Gosh…anything homemade always tastes divine but I must confess I have a real soft spot for Lingonberry Jam that you can get at Ikea. Its so perfect with Norwegian waffles…..
I too confess to enjoy the wonder and discovery within any deli or food specialty store… So listening to all the hype about Anathoth Jam has my mouth watering. I still hanker for my grandma’s rosella jam and did make it myself,(once),which made me appreciate the convenience factor in buying off the shelf…
Nowadays, I have a preference for various flavours that include pear or black cherry or raspberry or strawberry..I’m what you might call a jamoholic…
My favourite jam is raspberry!
Can I say “Milk Jam”? It’s what the Japanese call dulce de leche
Otherwise, I like tried and true raspberry, and also fig!
Strawberry would have to be the favourite here in this house – used in oh so many things – even milkshakes!! I would like to try the rhubarb – never had that!
I love, love, love really chunky apricot jam. It is best on toast interspersed with giant blobs of butter!!
My favourite flavour definitely has to be Strawberry! It goes really well with any type of breads or biscuits!
Anathoth Jams are quite literally AMAZING!
I love the good old classic raspberry, I always have a tub of Anathoth raspberry in the fridge. Their version is fabulous on freshly toasted sourdough. Or on hot cross buns (seriously, try it… Delicious!) I’d like to try the new flavour, it sounds right up my alley!
I love all the Anathoth jams I’ve tried so far and I hope they keep bringing out more flavours. I’ve just bought the new Rhubarb and Red Berry one. I think my favourite would be Cherry Berry though. I hardly ever buy any other brand of jam now – these are so good – just like home-made!
I love vanilla in jam, so anything that adds vanilla – strawberry & vanilla, apricot & vanilla…yum!
My favourite jam is Quince and anything other flavours that are out of the ordinary.
I have a ‘thing’ for cherry jam. I have a very good excuse for not making it……I don’t have a cherry tree. (Not that I’ve ever made jam. I just eat it a lot.)
its all about blackberry jam for me
its all about blackberry jam for me nothing more to say its the best, tart, sweet and moreish
Mine is strawberry! Would love to win this for my husband, he loves Raspberry jam when made from just berries and sugar with nothing added, bit hard to find though. He is from Canada and he misses his mum’s jam made this way from home grown raspberries, I think this gift box would make him (and me) very happy
Great to see ingredients that you recognise in a produce. i adore fig jam. so yummy on crackers with a slice of brie:)
Ooh, I’ve tried these jams and they’re delish! I enjoy fig and cinnamon jam, but sometimes it can be a bit sweet. I made a strawberry, rhubarb and vanilla jam a few months back, and that was a great flavour combo!
But a favourite jam flavour? That’s too tricky to decide…
Awesome!! I haven’t tried a lot of jam flavour at all. But at the moment, there’s two. If I’m going gourmet, I love wild blueberry jam. And the second type of jam I like, is those artificial strawberry ones. They remind me of jelly donuts
At the moment my favourite jam is mandarin and vanilla… because I made it! It was very rewarding but washing and sterilising all of the jars was boring and getting the consistency just right was tricky. Perhaps I should leave the jam making to experts like Anathoth!?
I discovered Anathoth just before Christmas I favorite with the in law… I love that supermarkets are finally understanding that we want products like this readily available
I would walk over hot coals for a fabulous jam be it apricot, rosella, strawberry, fig or plum.(it’s akin to picking your favourite child). If I could only have one jam in my cupboard I think I would opt for plum, so versatile.
I am extremely anxious to get my hands on these delectable jams. I didn’t know about this range of jams – the rhubarb and berry sounds divine, both tart and sweet (I imagine).
Yum, Jam!! I love Mango and Ginger jam which is just beautiful on toast but a close second is my husband’s homemade strawberry jam, made with love!
Rum plum jam without a doubt it the most delectable flavour I’ve yet had the pleasure to devour, thanks to a local farmer!
Rhubarb and red barry jam. Just the combination of colours looks gorgeous. The name evokes a exotic place—but the best the taste!!
It’s a bit unusual but I love pumpkin jam! I make it myself with the pumpkins that grow in our backyard.
For eating- strawberry jam -brings summer to my plate! As my secret ingredient in cooking – fig jam – such great texture and flavour which complements so many other flavours and no-one can ever guess what it is!!!
Raspberry and pineapple – my grandmother took the recipe to her grave – orrrrrrrrrrrr – Crabapple jelly which I am too lazy to make but love.
Strawberry for scones please. I love lots of types but strawberry is my favourite.
ooh strawberry or maybe marmalade on warm croissants… would love to try some new zealand jams
oh my gosh – rhubarb and red berry sounds AMAZING!!!!!! I made some smashing mango and passionfruit jam a couple of years ago which i havent been able to replicate since. it tasted FANTASTIC!
Nothing can surpass cherry jam. It has the most amazing texture and taste and is so versatile.
Chilli Jam for me
Love all kinds of berry jam as long as they are not too sweet but can’t go pass blueberry jam.
Hallo lovely lady! Definitely raspberry…oh yum raspberry jam and cream on scones…swoon!
I bet these jams are delicious. My favorite is raspberry! Thanks for sharing these wonderful flavors with us.
I went to a school fair once that sold homemade passionfruit jam! It was delicious, a perfect mix of sweet and tangy. Never found another jam like it :’(
Love the fresh pickings of quince from my mother-in-law’s tree, stewed and transformed into a beautiful, flavorsome sticky jam. My inlaws eat this fruit raw but I can’t take it that far!
If these are available here, I would get them in a heart beat!
I’ve tried Anathoth jams and they are indeed delicious…especially piped into fresh warm mini donuts!
However, the best jam i’ve EVER eaten was found at a country market stall – white nectarine jam. Fragrant and with a natural sweetness, sadly that jar didn’t last long! Sigh…i want some jam now!
Real Strawberry Jam is the best i have had
Home style strawberry Jam. Yum. Has to be my favorite!
Quince! It’s so versatile as it lends it’s self scrumptiously to both sweet and savory.
I love Cloudberry jam! We use to use to go berry picking when I lived in northern Canada, making sure to be careful of the bears who were also on the look out for berries, and make our own organic jam.
It would have to be fig jam–perfect on sourdough toast.
Fig Jam, so nice on scones.
jam! amazing jam! i like to eat it from the jar w/ a spoon.
i love roses lime marmalade ’cause it reminds me of the toast my nana made for me when i was a weeee hollypop.
i also have a soft spot for cherry and basically any kind home made w. love!
No matter how many jams I try, I always seem to come back to the simplest of jams and my favourite – strawberry.
fig jam! and it goes really well with goats cheese too mmmm yum!
What lovely jams I am a bit of a berry freak, so the 3 berry jam would do it for me. Especially on freshly baked scones with cream
My favourite would be Anathoth Boysenberry Jam. It’s just so yummo. I’ve had them with toast, my homemade scones. I want some more!!!
My favourite jams ….. tastes home made, the best!!
It has to be fig and ginger! And I mean made with very ripe figs, cut into big fat chunks, and barely cooked, so the figs don’t disintegrate into a yellied mass. Pieces of ginger are added for flavour, not eaten. Yummmy!
Peach Vanilla Jam! Chunks of peach with a subtle hint of vanilla. Yum!
Does Marmalade count as a jam? My Mum taught me to make it just like my Grandmother did, I have tweaked the recipe but its a wonderful connection to my Grandmother and my Mother!
i absoutely love a really good & slightly tart raspberry jam, i can eat it straight from the pot!
i was given a lovely tangerine marmalade as a gift & that also was delicious. i think with jams i like them to be sweet but not too sweet, lots of fruit & a lovely bit of bite to them. Yum, a great jam is hard to beat… Anathoth Jams sound like they would hit the spot!
Strawberry jam transports me instantly to afternoons after school at my Grandmother’s house eating hot pikelets and drnking tea. One of the great joys in my life!
My mother is 95 years old and has been a bread and jam freak all her life. She loves all flavours, but her best is strawberry even on ice cream.
I definitely love a good strawberry jam! Strawberry jam with butter on toast is strangely satisfying
Hi Lorraine,
Great giveaway, have been wanting to try these for a while, never sure if things are as advertised.
My favourite jam flavour is raspberry, that sweetness with a little bit of tartness is what it’s about for me, then of course there’s blackberry and apricot and a really good homemade strawberry jam (preferably with warm scones and cream!)….
ok so not just one flavour, but I LOVE jam!
hi lorraine, my all time favourite jam is strawberry and boysenberry.i also like guava.
Raspberry jam! I actually discovered my love of this flavour from dare i say it, those delicious Krispy Kreme Raspberry jam- filled donuts.. Oh that tang just dances on my tongue and makes me salivate.
Yumyum! Raspberry jam’s the one for me!
My favourite is fig and ginger jam — home-made of course, with big chunks of homegrown fig and crystallised ginger. Best eaten straight from the jar with a spoon, while standing in front of the open fridge… The perfect way to keep savouring the glut of Summer figs all the way through Winter.
I love the fact that these are from NZ and have no nasties! I would have to go for the rhubarb and red berry jam for something a bit different!
Hi Lorraine … i too love grocerie shopping i find it quite fun and like to look out for all the new products to try ….. anyhoooo….. my fav jam would be fig especially if it has big lumps of the fruit and love that texture of the small seeds as you munch
I just love fig jam, one of my earliest memories is eating fig jam(made by my great grandmother) on bread with cream….delicious!
They also have a Boysenberry one – it’s delicious and deffo my fav… ohhhh I’m about to have some now on a rice snackie thing! yummmm…
Ooh maybe my favourite is feijoa flavour! That seems appropriate!
Wow… good this i read this post today (with hubby home on weekends i don’t get a chance to read your sat/sun posts until today) i was like.. hey, i just bought some of that jam on Saturday… then realised CRAP… need to put my bread maker on or i don’t get to use it today! haha. So thanks for the reminder.
Anyway.. i’m pretty boring.. Strawberry is my favourite jam. Love jam… jam tarts, jam donuts, jam & cream with scones… ahh, it’s just amazing. 
I’m actually hoping to start making my own jams soon.
I looove cherry jam, especially from Young. It goes extremely well with a good non roasted, organic macadamia nut butter, try it, it’s a must. The three berry jam sounds fantastic and all natural is the only way to eat food, always.
my current favourite jam is quince & orange, seeing as i’ve just made a batch!!
Hi Lorraine,
It would have to be my homemade spice-infused fig jam. The spice compliment the sweetness of the figs.
Strawberry jam – on hot piklets.
My favourite flavour is UNDOUBTEDLY blackcurrant jam. There’s something about the little balls of tartness in that sweet jam… yum!
I made my own for this first time ever earlier this year, and it’s fantastic.
Homemade strawberry jam on scones with lashings of cream!
My partner is of Lebanese background and he put me onto their fig and walnut jam. Nice on thick cut toasted sourdough with a cup of tea!
Without a doubt Blackberry Jam is my most favourite – but not just any Blackberry Jam….
As a child my parents, brother and I would go Blackberrying on Sunday mornings – we would return home with stained hands and mouths and copious a amount of beautiful plump Blackberries.
Mum would then set about making jam and while she was at it she would also make Blackberry Tarts for supper. Sadly those days are long gone but the memories live on…
I’m going to sound boring and say strawberry jam! So good on hot scones.
Well, considering that i come from the wonderful Eastern European culture, i have to say that plum jam and strwaberry jam are favorites, followed closely by rosehip jam. Thick and sugary and fantastic for baking with! Jam cookies remind me of my mum!
XX
My favourite is strawberry, when I was a kid, my neighbour used to make it and she would then make jam tarts – heavenly!
Nothing beats the Fig & Ginger jam I had when I was in Umbria, Italy = such bliss
After a glut of plums this season, I ventured to try plum and pineapple jam. It is simply amazing. Sweet and tart and just perfect on fresh sourdough!
My favourite is Cherry Jam – simple homemade cherry jam. The best cherries for jam are the tangy sweet ones. Whenever I spread this jam on my toast, I feel so pampered and indulgent.
My mother used to make a fantastic quince, apricot and passionfruit jam. May sound a tad yucky but believe me it was totally amazing. She so loved to experiment with flavour but the only drawback was she never wrote down her recipes and no one’s ever been able to duplicate her success
We grew up with a big plum tree in the back yard, and my Oma had an apricot tree, so plum and apricot jams will always taste like ‘real’ jams to me.
Raspberry is lovely, but it’s a treat thing, not an every-day-for-breakfast thing.
Mmmmm,fig jam on buttery toast. And you can’t go past a fresh croissant with strawberry jam, i have it every year for my birthday! Yum!
Strawberry! What can I say, it’s classic and goes so well with scones. Alltime favorite is a good bread, peanut butter and strawberry jam
Mmm strawberry jam. And cream. On scones… I’m drooling just thinking about it!!
These wonderful jam makers were at the Masterchef Weekend extravaganza awhile back and I tried and bought the strawberry and three berry and the cutest ever little keep cool bag. Well, husband ate almost all the strawberry, usually straight out of the container with a spoon and the three berry is now my favourite jam, for ever!!!
My Grandmother used to make a kumquat marmalade using her own kumquats. When she passed away my Mum inherited the mini-kumquat trees and transplanted them into our garden, now she makes the same jam. I love these traditions!
Does onion jam count? I love a good, dark, rich onion jam on a ploughman’s plate… so good.
I love milk jam, which I initially came across in France where they call it confissure de lait. I suspect it’s not terribly good for you, but man it’s good for your disposition.
The in-laws came for breakfast and Anathoth’s three berry jam was on the table. Well, father-in-law is now a customer for life!!
Homemade plum jam has become a new favourite of mine and with the addition of cinnamon i just cant get enough!
My fave is kiwi and ginger. Before she passed, she used to mail it to me from Goulbourn. It was my guaranteed meal of the day!
My favourite is the 3-berry mix jam – perfect for when I’m indecisive, or when I want to have them all!!!
When I was pregnant with my first child one of my cravings was for marmalade and sausage sandwiches! Extra sharp marmalade, preferably made with sevile oranges and pork sausages. Delicious!
Favorite would have to be strawberry
Have to be chestnut and vanilla bean – especially with those new easy peel chestnuts around, making it easier to make!Rhubarb comes a good second. Yummmm !
Tomato jam – yes you heard right. Tomato jam. Whenever I visit my family in Europe, doesn’t matter the time of the year, someone will always have homemade tomato jam in the fridge. On stale bread it tastes great – seriously!
Sorry, submitting again because I accidentally put in the wrong email address before:

My favourite all time jam is Mellon & Lemon, needs nothing else just fresh bread & butter, yummo
i love either a good home made fig or ginger jam
My favourite jam is raspberry jam.
Deinately good old Strawberry!!!
Banana jam = morning muffin magic.
My all-time favourite is Plum Jam, but alas I can no longer eat it now that I’m diabetic
So now my favourite is Strawberry Jam with no added sugar – Yum! on toast and home made scones.
My paternal grandfather showed my sister and I how to make homemade strawberry jam when we were children.
I still use this recipe when strawberries are in abundance.
Thankfully, I married a horticulturist and, he got a cook.
Fig Jam is the way 2 go YUMMY yes indeed it’s FIG 4 ME.
I love strawberry jam, especially if it’s home made!
raspberry jam
I love cumquat marmalade… not only tangy fro breakfast, but it reminds me of helping my Grandma make it after gathering fruit from her trees!
The new Rhubarb & Red Berry Jam will be a winner for me
I’ve not had Rhubarb Jam since my grandmother passed. Strawberry Jam is great too and these jams do taste like homemade.
It has to be red; three berry, strawberry, raspberry or cherry jam. I eat one after the other; but predominantly strawberry because it’s my husband’s favourite.
Blueberry jam is wonderful, it’s delicious on toast, muffins or as a topping on cheesecake if you heat it with a little water
Pineapple and ginger. It tastes so good. Shame it’s so hard to find.
Blackberry, but with the seeds in it. No other flavour tastes as good. At least not to me. But it has to be on toast with real butter.
My late Grandmother used to make the most delicious jam from dark plums she grew in the garden. It wasn’t overly sweet, and mildly tart, and more delicious than I can put into words. I’ve tried every brand on the market, trying to find a jam that comes close to the greatness hers was, and sadly nothing does, so I dream of how yummy it was, praying for someone to bring out a jam just as good.
I love fig jam freshly made, and sold at markets. I will eat it straight out of the jar. Simply sweet and not overpowering.
Yummy fig jam for me!
Blackberry – brings back memories of picking and eating blackberries off the hedges in England as a child
Fig jam is great, but I also love jellies – especially quince or blackberry – as they don’t have the little bits that get stuck in teeth that so many great tasting jams do. The ones that I remember from my childhood being called Ant Jam – and that they were left for the children to enjoy because the adults found them too bothersome because of all those little bits getting stuck in teeth
♥ I LOVE RASPBERRY JAM, ESPECIALLY THAT MADE BY MY NANNA. ♥
Ooh, I love so many varieties of jam, but strawberry has to be my favourite. The only jam I don’t like is toe jam!Hehe.
A great jam with a perfect scone or pikelet just great combination and teh jam makes it. wow o what yoummy flavours my taste buds are going
I am always drawn to three berry, they seem to balance each other nicely, one berry on its own is sometimes too overpowering……
I love the combination of
Mulberry and Cherry on hot scones Yum!
mmm i love raspberry jam especially on toast or hot scones and now my children are also hooked on it
Any jam flavour that is BERRY good would suit my family. Pardon the pun or should that be punnet! Cheers.
Rhubarb Jam – my grandmother’s specialty – served on warm scones with fresh cream – wow the memories that brings back
Hopefully when my 2 new fig trees are fully grown, I’ll have enough to make homemade fig jam
my favourite jam is gooseberry.
Hi Lorraine.
Apricot jam is the scrummiest.
Especially spread on a slice of beautifully matured cheese. I have my Dad to thank for that, the things fathers teach their daughters. yummmm…
Raspberry multi-skills across many food groups – coat lamb and sprinkle Rosemary, its gives a fantastic flavour; baking, jam tarts yum; high tea, scones and jam; sauces, add a tablespoon for a touch of flavour. It gives a rich flavour without being overly sweet. The list is endless.
Rasberry Jam, I can almost taste the cream and scones when ever I butter up a piece of toast, ready for my Rasberry Jam.
Recently I made a batch of strawberry, vanilla and lavender jam. It was absolutely delicious and the smell of it cooking was out of this world!
My fav jams are all NZ flavours, which is where Anathoth, comes from, ie.Boysenberry Jam, Feijoa Jam. And if they may “Hokey Pokey” flavoured jam, I’m pretty sure I’d like that too!
My fav jam flavour is mulberry! Takes me back to my childhood eating mulberries straight from the tree
i love my toast well done and with brown bread with strawberry jam with lots of butter.
There is nothing on earth that beats a plain, good quality strawberry jam.
jam tomorrow, jam yesterday, gotta have jam everyday! favourite’s raspberry, on almost everything – toast, crumpets, muffins, pancakes, scones, cheese, poached eggs, ice cream… really need this jam fix please
As a child i picked black figs for my mum so she could make jam. The taste of this jam was the best and nothing ever has come close to it.
my favourite jam has to be feijoa jam. It is so difficult to find feijoas in Sydney, i love going back to NZ and seeing them in abundance. They are the perfect ingredient to a crumble dessert!!
Hi Lorraine,
My favourite flavour of jam is raspberry. From time to time I will stray from the path and dabble with all kinds of fascinating and exotic jams but time and again I come back to raspberry. Especially for scones.
thanks for the chance to enter!
I love Anathoth Jam. I have been buying it for years and I have converted nearly everybody over to it. I have a lot of food additive allergies, so I can’t eat most commercial jams. I am glad it comes it the larger tubs because I go through it so quickly, by the time I dollop it on everything and then share it with everyone else in the lunch room. I love all of the flavours but my current favourite is the new rhubarb and Red Berry because it has such a multi-dimensional flavour.
My favourite jam flavour is anything with rhubarb in. Love it.
Raspberry jam with no doubt. My grandmother only serves toast with raspberry jam on her breakfast table, but I never grew tired of it. Raspberry jam brings back all those happy and carefree childhood memories!
Raspberry – because it is just that little bit fancier than strawberry
Strawberry – I lay it on thick!
Blackberry – reminds me of being a child and going out to pick them so mam could make homemade jam
We love weekend drives to Hawkesbury Harvest Food Trails (NSW), we bought lots of Ginger Marmalade we pour over Vanilla Ice-Cream or Glaze Honey Muffins.
Strawberry – teenage memories of strawberry picking to earn a few pounds & eating almost my weight in strawberries.
I remembered this post when I was grocery shopping last weekend, and we bought a pot of Anathoth raspberry jam. OMG it’s the best jam I’ve tasted! I told a girl at work about it and she said it was her favourite too.
My favourite jam is raspberry. I love the deep colour and it’s not too sweet
Home made Fig Jam is delish,spread on a bread slice and top it with thick cream.Bliss!
Plum Jam, on hot fresh scones straight out of the oven topped with fresh cream.
Gooseberry jam – reminds me of my grandma & her pommie life, she grew these in Australia when immigrated, made jam, tarts & anything possible to keep her homelands running in all our veins. The am was scrumptious on her fresh hot scones, fresh bread & fresh cream, coconut cookies & more.
My all time favourite Jam flavour is Mulberry, my Nana used to make the best Mulberry Jam ever. Now she’s making it in Heaven, what an Angel she is.
I am a self confessed jamaholic – not a day goes by when I don’t get my daily fix of jam. Apricot jam spread thickly over fresh bread and butter, one of the simple pleasures in life. I have yet to sample Anathoth jam, but once tasted, I’m sure to become addicted!
I love all the flavours but Strawberry is top of the list and the range of pickles that they have are lovely too. :Q
I have been feeling really ill over the weekend and all I wanted was my Mum’s homemade apricot jam on toast!
Boysenberry – my favourite berry. Gooseberry would have to come a close second – but it’s hard to find in Australia. I also love apple in my jams – Raspberry and Apple, Rhubarb and Apple, etc. Sometimes berries on their own can be a bit overpowering, apple makes it a bit smoother and less intense while still giving it a lovely flavour.
Hi Lorraine. I recently found homemade mulberry and melon jam at a local farmer’s market. It was so delicious it made me rush out and buy a mulberry tree and a packet of melon seeds so I can have a go at making my own next year!!
Hi Lorriane,I moved here from NZ 10 years ago and I couldn’t live without Anathoth Jam, so I had it shipped over for me every month.I converted all my friends too.I was so pleased when I found it in my local supermarket. My favourite is Raspberry!
The apricot jam definitely does not contain pumpkin. It tastes like apricot!!
Strawberry, its a classic.
strawbeery it reminds me of my childhood with my dad. fresh bread strawberry jam and cream yum yum
Blackberry jam,we use to pick them and our grandmother use to make the jam.
A delicious passionfruit jam – such an exotic but scrumptious flavour!
I haven’t tried the new rhubarb and berry jam but I am sure it will be just as delicious as the others. Wish they would make fig jam!!
Raspberry jam, its summer in a jar.
Strawberry hands down. The minute I hear ‘jam’ I instantly think scones, jam & cream. It makes me think of my nanna and when we would all wait for Sunday scones. xx
Instead of scones I make cheese muffins and of course Three Berry Jam with cream!!
My favourite is definitle strawberry – yummy!
Raspberry jam, can’t beat it a lovely subtle tang, perfect with scones or my morning toast, yum
Apricot Jam for me – especially love using it to fill Shortbread Crescents – my mum used to make these when i was a little lass so they hold special memories.
Oh & reading back through all the comments how gorgeous is it to see how many people tie childhood memories to Jam! Jam really is quite special!
My favourite food discovery while traveling Sweden was Cloudberry jam, I wish it was cheaper/easier to find here..
If passionfruit butter counts as jam than that is the winner for me! (well it does get used in much the same way) otherwise I’m a plain old Strawberry girl. Having said that, Rhubarb jam sounds brilliant! I love rhubarb in just about anything. x
I used to live in the next village to Tiptree in the UK. The smell of strawberry jam in late Summer is a fond memory and my favourite type!
I recently made a jam using pineapple feijoas and it was like having a party on my tongue.It was sweet yet a little bit tart with a smidgeon of sour overall an incredible taste sensation
I would love to try the Anathoth rhubarb and red berry jam it sounds very delicious
that was my tongue talking
Anthoth do not only make delicious jams but relishes as well, yummmm!!!
My favourite is Apricot Jam, so tangy and not too sweet, I can eat it by the spoon full.
an oldie but a goodie is Plum Jam! my fave as it reminds me of my nanna!
I have just finished the last of these tasty jams and would love another Three Berry as it was everyones favourite and I had to hide the last teaspoon at the back of the fridge so I could have it this morning.
Strawberry Jam all the way. Especially on pancakes
Simple, but succulent, Strawberry Jam
“Delicious and fruity,
From B&B to Savoy,
It’s Anathoth strawberry,
Just tuck in and enjoy!!!”
We had an enormous apricot tree that grew in one of the chook pens.Each year it would provide us with a bountiful harvest of large,juicy apricots and my Nan would use them to make,pickles,tarts,stewed apricots to have with breakfast cereal and custard and the most wonderful apricot jam .Apricot jam has been my favourite since those early days with my Nan.
Homemade Apricot Jam made by moi,
so tasty and delicious,
nothing could come close except for Anathoth Jams, they’re scrumptious
Another one of my favourites is goosebery jam. It brings back such lovely memories when we used to pick them as children.
I love strawberry jam. It’s so versatile. On toast for breakfast, On a sponge cake with cream for afternoon tea, as a glaze over a berry tart for dessert.
Yes, strawberry jam is my favourite.
apricot jam is my fav but i would love to try the rhubarb and red berry jam
Raspberry….all time favourite, then Blackberry if i pick the berries and made the jam myself!
I love strawberry jam, but without the bits. Just smooth is perfect.
P.retty sure I didn’t expect to buy this jam there
A.fter all, all I was going to was a school fair
S.o unenthusiastically and unhappily I went,
S.ighing because I thought it’d be a boring event.
I. saw in a small stall, an orange jar
O.f course I thought passionfruit jam would be bizarre
N.evertheless I picked it up and decided to give it a try
F.or I thought it might prove to be an interesting buy
R.ight after I got home, I ate it with some toast
U.nder two bites, and I was engrossed
I.t was so irresistible that I took bite after bite
T.o this day I’ve never found jam that was a bigger delight!
I just love raspberry jam, it’s my all time fave!
my favourite will be three berry jam. Not only do berry make my family and i “a berry happy family”, the number three reminds my mom that her 3 children will always love and cherish her! =)
We came across beautiful ginger jam, its lovely to have a jam that isnt so sweet with an usual taste
Hi Lorraine
My favourite jam flavour would have to be apple and blackberry. I use to go blackberry picking along the rail way at home with my family every year. I suspect my brothers, sister and I probably ate more berries rather than picked them. Mum would make a variety of delicious things with them including fruit leathers, tarts, turnovers, cakes and of course her popular blackberry and apple jam.
As I’ve grown up over the years and moved away from home sometimes I miss the freedom and simplicity of my country childhood and the taste of blackberries brings back such wonderful memories
strawberry jam! especially with peanut butter..yum my favourite!
Nan’s homemade plum jam was my absolute favourite but any flavour Anathoth jam comes a very close second.
Blackberry Jam – seedless of course, reminds me of my childhood when I would go “blackberrying” with my Nanna- the greatest cook ever!!
My favourite has allways been Strawberry but i could be tempted to change my mind with the new Rhubarb and Red Berry Jam.
the raspberry jam,,yumm
please can i win this.
i love to spread it on my bread and eat it on my back porch,yummy.mmm
pineapple and macadamia
My grandmother’s home made fig jam. Figs picked from the back yard, peeled and cooked with love. I buy this type of jam when ever I see it on a stall, so far have not found an equal to my Gran’s, but still looking.
I love their apricot jam – and their berry jams are not bad either. But when will their Zucchini Pickle become available in Australia – it is superb but so far I only have been able to buy it when in NZ
My friend Fran makes the most unbelieveable jam, it has a fantastic pink hue and flavour unlike other jams, as it is banana jam.
Apricot Brandy Jam
- Light on the apricots!
Blackberry is a specially loved flavor, takes you back to the days when went picking to turn into jam with your Nan.
Jam Jam Jam
for breakfast lunch and tea
i put jam on everything
favourite rustic strawberry sweet and delcious such a treat.
My favourite is Apricot and only Anathoth do nice apricot. I’m from NZ and love that I can buy it here.
Three Berry Jam, because what’s better than one ingredient? Many ingredients!
Good luck to the winner of the Anathoth jams, pure enjoyment!!
Raspberry jam, although I do love my mums blackberry and also her mixed berry!
Yummy….
I like trying new jams, but my favourite is and always has been strawberry. Warm toast & scones with strawberry jam are my favourites!
Strawberry jam and to top it of it’s best served on freshly made scones with cream. Yummy!!
I love anathoth jams as it tastes like home cooked. My favourite is the raspberry which l use for cooking and on toast
rhubarb and red berry – what a sensational taste experience
LOVVVVVVVVVIIINNNNN ETTTTTT…<3
