I first discovered Jackie's Jams years ago on a charcuterie board at Nason's Beer Hall at the Pendry Hotel. The jam adds a touch of sweetness to the meat and cheese. Shortly after my first encounter, I saw their booth at the Hillcrest Farmer's Market and was very impressed with the variety. It is not often that you come across a San Diego made jam that is readily available. It is really, really good. 5 stars.
I have been a Jackie's Jams fan for years. I enjoy their versatility. Ya, PBnJJ's is great! In addition, I use their jams in baking, cooking and in salad dressings, dips and spreads. Saute minced onion, garlic and ginger then warm Jackie's Jams Triple Citrus to accompany fish. Add chili flakes for some heat. Add any flavor to cream cheese and spread on bagels; drop on puff pasty and bake. Season Jackie's Jams Tomato Jelly with BBQ spices for an amazing BBQ sauce. A sublime salad dressing is easy with Jackie's Jams Spicy Raspberry - onion, lemon, oil, salt, pepper and herbs. Use an immersion blender and enjoy! Drop any Jackie's Jams in unflavored yogurt, mix with oatmeal, add to smoothies, use between layers of cakes instead of frosting (or add to frosting!). I've done it all and more. Enjoy the sweet life!
You're reading this review because you're curious if these jams are the real deal.
THEY ARE THE REAL DEAL.
They have sugar-less options and fun exotic options like GUAVA.
All the ordinary sounding flavors are anything but ordinary tasting.
And you'll see in ther emails that it's all family run - not some massive corporation who doesn't care about your health.
So with all that to say >>>> HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :)
The best jam I have ever had. REALLY! I normally don't use jam on toast or bread. But Jackie's Jam is not to sweet, but yet sweet enough. Amazing! Lots of love is put into this jam. Going to have to get more. Someone ate it all. All gone.
The selection they carry at the Farmers Markets is nothing short of incredible. It will take me some time to get through all their flavors...looks like over 30. My personal favorite is the sugar free Peach Mango. My daughter loves the Nectarine...or as she calls it "Neckarine" Also cool you can get them in Spouts and Whole Foods too for some flavors.
Discovered Jackie's Jams on my husband's recent visit to San Diego. He brought me back lots of goodies :) I've used the jams on toast, biscuits, oatmeal and used the Peach Cobbler on vanilla ice cream O.M.G! Like another reviewer states, the jams aren't too sweet and they even have keto and no sugar added options. I'm looking for recipes to try my jams beyond the bread options. So happy that I found Jackie's Jams and looking forward to trying all the products.
Their Balsamic Fig jam is amazing! Spoon over soft cheese, like brie, and enjoy with baguette or sliced apples. So delicious! So easy!
LOVE Jackie s Jams! We first came across her stand at the farmers market in San Diego while we were on vacation. We tried so many kinds and she was happy to give us all the samples we wanted! We ended up buying three jars and I m searching this now to order more!
Their no sugar added is incredible - I ve not been able to find another no sugar added that didn t have Splenda or something similar!
Excited to try new flavors this time around!
My family loves Jackie s Jams! We don t live in California, so we aren t able to go to the farmers markets to buy this, so we order online ALL THE TIME. Quick shipping. Quality product! We will never be able to buy any jelly s or jams at the grocery store ever again! We use it on toast, on ice cream, as marinades...you name it, it works!! Love. Love. Love. I also managed to get all my family hooked!
I sent as a gift. The recipient enthused: " I tried them both. My (French) Mom would have loved the fig truffle.. The Chardonnay is sublime with the perfect hint of chardonnay to compliment the perfect sweetness of the jam...Definitely both will be accoutrements for our weekend full breakfasts."
Ordered and delivered cross-country in 2 days! My favorite is guava.
We just bought Jackie's apricot jam and are trying it out with our homemade cultured butter today. I love the perfect consistency of it and it's not too sweet which is what I'm always afraid of when I buy jam! Perfect product - thank you Jackie. Looking forward to trying the strawberry one next.
Delicious jams and unique flavors you can t get anywhere else! Great local San Diego company too!
OMG my husband brought home their Strawberry Chocolate jam and I just ate it with a spoon right from the jar!
I was looking for a guava jam for a long time and finally found it. It s the best jam I ve ever had! I ll definitely be ordering more flavors. It is worth mentioning that the delivery time was just 2 days too and everything was packed really well.
What an amazing company! I found them a few years ago at a farmers market in San Diego and they are absolutely incredible. The Santa Rosa Plum jam is TO DIE FOR and the owners are the most kind, gracious individuals. Just 4 days before Christmas, I messaged them on Instagram hoping to work out some kind of shipping arrangement for arrival by the holiday and they were kind enough to respond, pack my order, and ship it out the same day! I really couldn't be more pleased with the customer service or the jams. Highly, highly recommend!
