RE: TIL what JAM is and you might be surprised by the answer.
I don't have a good comment about J.A.M. but I will say that the pictures of the jams especially the 8 jams in those little cups look really delicious!
Plus your thumbnail is of strawberry jam, and that reminds me of my grandmother who always made strawberry jam every fall when I was a little kid. I miss that jam (and her too of course).
Thank you. It is amazing how tastes (and smells) can remind us of our childhood. I remember my late grandfather whenever I smell coffee - he was a high court judge and use to take me to his very old fashioned coffee room where they (judges) would all get together and read newspapers and discuss the news. I remember those smells with great fondness - plus they used to have awesome club sandwiches.
Even thought shop bought Jam won't be the same as what your grandmother made - perhaps the smell and taste takes you back to those memories of her? Our lost love ones live on in us through our memories.
Thank you for sharing.
