Tiptree Preserve, Cranberry & Cointreau, 12 Ounce Jar

This strawberry preserve is wonderful. I'd buy it again, in a heartbeat. Instead of being mostly "fillers", these preserves are chunky, like good preserves should be, with lots of chunks of strawberry. I also love that this product contains no high-fructose corn syrup or other nasty ingredients. For someone like me, who can no longer put up my own preserves, it's hard to settle for the preserves and jams found in grocery stores. This one tastes and looks closer to home made.Unfortunately, my first jar was not fully wrapped in two layers of bubble wrap. Part of the jar was only wrapped in one layer. Unfortunately, the lid under the single-layer of bubble wrapped took a hit, which broke the seal, and strawberry preserves leaked all over the rest of my order. It was a mess. Amazon sent a replacement jar right away, but the second jar arrived in the same condition, not fully wrapped and with the lid dented under the single-layer part of the wrapping, once again breaking the seal and causing yet another mess. Unfortunately, the "return this item" page did not allow me to inform Amazon of the problem, so they could fix the problem in their packaging department. I doubt if Amazon staff reads customer reviews, but I know of no other way to let them know of the problem!If you're looking for a nice quality, high-end strawberry preserve, I'd recommend this product. However, it might be wise to order it as a single item, so the leaked jam won't leak all over the rest of your order. It was a sticky mess! Thankfully, enough remained in the jar(s) that I can enjoy what didn't leak out. Delicious!

Tiptree is simply the best. Superior to ANY other brand. I use it for cake fillings, icings and they're ALL absolutely divine with whipped cream, cool whip (toast/scones). Nothing compares to the quality and ingredients of these products.

The best Scottish Whiskey I have found so far in the USA

Full of little strawberries. . Good, abit on the sweeter side, could use a small bit fo topping for dessert like cheesecake ect.. small jar. Have to try on English muffin! It is sweet. Need more "tart" otherwise good.

If you haven't tried Tiptree jams and preserves, you are missing out. I've never had better strawberry preserves; though the extra price is a bit steep, these strawberries are evidently special to the UK and they make the most of them! Great with homemade biscuits. Non paid.

This jelly is my favorite! So delicious

Every Christmas I splurge on a jar of these to have on toast (or English muffins/crumpets) and it is just the best preserve I've ever had. I got mine this summer when it was on sale and it was very affordable. I think it's over $10 at Wegmans or even on Amazon. But keep an eye on it for when the price drops. I've done that two years in a row now. You won't regret this, especially nice at the holidays!

I had high hopes for this Strawberry Preserve, Little Scarlet. I thought with the small round strawberries, they were some variety of wild strawberry OR something very similar. In the US, store bought berries are huge, flavorless and taste nothing like their wild cousins! Anyways, maybe Little Scarlet on its own DOES taste close to wild strawberries, but I honestly could not even taste or discern "strawberry" flavor at all! All I got was sugary, syrupy, sticky sweet jam. Also, it was not a deep or vibrant red as the advertised photo shows! I got 2 jars - first one arrived broken, broken seal, leaking and brown. I figured when it broke, it oxidized and turned brown. I didn't try it, but reported it to Amazon, who promptly sent me a new jar. Jar #2 was sealed, not leaky or sticky, well packed, etc. BUT, it too was BROWN!!! WTH? Some fruits and berries change with age, or depending on ripeness when picked, etc. I gave it a shot anyways. THRICE! Just too sweet to enjoy. Reminded me of a big brand of jams and jellies I recently got in Raspberry, which was too sweet to taste the raspberries, and was too dark to look appetizing. :/Maybe if I could get a FRESH jar, it'd be better? But since it's imported, not "cheap", and I'm guessing takes a while to get to the US, I'm guessing this is not an option, and you get what you get. Luck of the draw!One thing I did like (or love? had I been able to taste them) was the WHOLE strawberries in the preserve/jam/spread. Smaller than a dime, round and plump, just like the wild berries we find in the woods in NE MN!All in all, if you have tooth sensitivity, cavities, root canals without crowns (crap dental coverage), I'd suggest skipping this. If you prefer more fruit & berries flavor or just overall, go to your local co-op (or maybe even your local grocery store), and grab a jar Crofters organic "just fruit" (green cap) line. It's not expensive, comes in every flavor imaginable, and is always excellent! I'm not affiliated with them or any jam brands, but I tried the raspberry one first (years ago), and it looked and tasted IDENTICAL to my late Swedish-Finnish grandma's homemade raspberry jam! Then I got blueberry, which tasted IDENTICAL to Grandma's blueberry pie filling! YUM! And strawberry, which is my least favorite berry, is even good from them!As for Tiptree, it looks fancy, costs $$$ (in the jam world), but just didn't stack up to other domestic affordable brands. I DO have a jar of Tiptree Black Currant that I haven't tried yet, but maybe it will be better? I'll review it as soon as I try it, but for now I've got a fridge door shelf of various flavors of other jams and spreads to get through before I open a new one!NOTE: I am a bonafide "super tasted" and "super smeller", meaning I taste and smell things that most other people don't, so my experience may be more extreme than others' of this product. Take what I say with a grain of salt, but I think we'd all be better off with a lot less sugar in our diets - save it for candy & desserts - and wish more food brands would get in board! Or use alternative natural sugar substitutes & sweeteners! Monk fruit, erythritol and stevia are all great options!!! :)
