Hi Everyone,

I thought that I would try to make some Black Raspberry Jam or Jelly tomorrow and have a question. Which do you prefer - Jam with the seeds left in or Jelly without the seeds Thanks for your input.

Jam for sure. We don't mind the seeds a bit.

Jam for sure! Jelly is good but seems kind of wasteful

Jam gets my vote. I have a Foley Mill so my jam is more like perserves, I guess. Sorta like what Connie said. MB

Yep, jam for us, too. I don't mind seeds, and even my picky Jus doesn't mind em in the jam. When it's on a biscuit with butter, you don't even notice!!!

Okay, so I'm going to be the lone dissenter. . .I really like the blackcap Jelly! I DO like the texture of the jam, and it IS more spreadable, but the jelly is just so FINE! It's one of the only berries I make jelly with rather than jam (okay, okay, so I did make a batch of jam too. . .) If you have enough berries, do one of each! They're both delicious!

Both are spectacular! My mom used to make both and I liked them equally well.
