Looking for Choke- cherry and Raspberry Jam
I have been trying to find 2 jams that have the real flavor and fruit I enjoy. The one is Choke-cherry jam and the other is Raspberry jam. I have tried many different ones , but they all seem to taste like sugar with the flavor of the berry. I know that the best is home made but I don't have contacts with anyone who does that anymore. If anybody could help me out a place or person I could buy some from it would be great, Respectfully, Gary T. Smile Smile

Hmm my sister in law always gives us home made chokecherry jam, pretty damn good. I'll ask if the person does it as a hobby or sells it.

I think I saw them once, opening for The Grateful Dead back in the 70's.

But that memory is a bit hazy, man...

We used to pick choke cherries when I was a kid in N. Idaho. The trees grew wild along highways and roads.

Edit to add the name of a company that makes choke cherry jam.

I highly recommend the 'Jampot'; the Thimbleberry jam is to die for.

Been a long time since I heard thimbleberry!

Used to pick them, but they never lasted long enough for mom to make jam. How about some good old huckleberry jam?
