Our Favorite Store-Bought Jams and Jellies (For When You Don't Have Time To Make Your Own)
Whether you have a big batch of fluffy biscuits, homemade scones, or a slice of freshly toasted toast, there's nothing like a swipe of a delicious jam or jelly to liven up the situation. We love the homemade stuff and have been known to while away a day making peach preserves, strawberry jams, and all manner of berry-based jellies. However, when the homemade store runs dry and the jam jars turn up empty, we've been known to supplement with the best of the store-bought stuff. Whether artisanal or widely available, there's a jar on the shelf that'll sweeten up all your plain-toast mornings and afternoon tea times. Taste a jar of the store-bought stuff. It might surprise you!
