This advent calendar features twenty-four jams. I am a novice in this area so if you are an expert in this food category, please take my opinion with a grain of salt.
- White Nectarine-Peach-Lemon Verbana smells like tea and tastes like a sweet black tea. It tastes decent on toast. 3/5
- Strawberry-Linden Blossom is sweet, almost too sweet and doesn’t really taste like strawberry. 3/5
- Apricot-Banana is a no-go for me. 1/5
- Cherry-Pink Peppercorn has absolutely no taste. You would think there would be at least a hint of the peppercorn since it is such a strong flavor. 1/5
- Fig-Cardamom is a NO. 0/5
- Grapefruit-Dragon Fruit gave me high hopes but ended up being disappointing. 1/5
- Raspberry-Dark Chocolate absolutely befuddled my mind. I could not seem to reconcile chocolate with raspberry jam. 2/5
- Peach-Jasmine Flower was just as confusing as it sounds. 1/5
- Honey is not my favorite and do not like it unless it is in tea. 2/5
- Lemon-Yuzu was almost sour but had no real defining taste. 1/5
- Apricot-Lavender had a subtle lavender flavor but I could not taste the apricot. 3/5
- Wild Blueberry-Balm Leaves is such a big name for a flavor but it didn’t really stand out like it should. 2/5
- Caramel-Cinnamon tastes like straight-up caramels. I didn’t really taste cinnamon but that’s okay with me. 5/5
- Cherry-Hibiscus Flower was a bit tart but not terrible, though I didn’t like the texture. 3/5
- Mirabelle Plum-Spice almost reminded me of cinnamon applesauce. 3/5
- Orange-Guava Lime smells like guava but I’m not a fan of the taste. 2/5
- Peach-Mint is a no, thank you. 1/5
- Pineapple-Ginger tastes like baby food. I detest ginger but this didn’t have that soapy taste to it. 1/5
- Strawberry-Guava reminds me of a sponge cake. 4/5
- Quince is a weird texture and not much of a discernible taste, just sweet. 1/5
- Rhubarb-Strawberry almost doesn’t taste like anything specific. 2/5
- Orange-Mandarin-Passion Fruit was alright though I mostly taste the mandarin and I didn’t like the texture. 2/5
- Mango-Raspberry-Lime has too many flavors trying to battle it out on my taste buds. 1/5
- Cherry-Christmas Spice is sweet then tart. 1/5
