LOL Having been raised on home made jams and jellies I have to say that
there are no major brands to recommend. There are a few very expensive
brands that are pretty good, but they are very expensive. I don't need to
tell you that jam is not particularly challenging to make, and unless you
really screw it up, even the worst home made jams is better then the best
commercial brand. I always make my own Seville Orange Marmalade. In order
for me to buy marmalade that is as good as I can make, I have to spend far
more than I think I am worth. Seriously, it costs about $8 per jar, and I
can make it for a small fraction of that and it isn't a lot of work.

Speaking of which.... I should post a separate message for a Seville Orange
alert. They are in the market now.
