Well... we really should call them JAMBerries because jams and jellies are the PERFECT berry treats to give to your friends as party favors, housewarming gifts, brunch eats, and "just thinking of you" sweets.  ![jam spread on bread with a side of berries](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blackberry%20chia%20jam-10.jpg?width=5760&name=blackberry%20chia%20jam-10.jpg) Berries are in demand right now and you don't want to miss out on their juicy goodness.

My personal favorite is [blackberry vanilla jam with chia seeds](https://www.calgiant.com/recipes/apple-blackberry-brown-sugar-jam). It's smooth, it's sweet and it's absolutely amazing on cinnamon swirl bagels and fresh biscuits straight out of the oven. You can even add apples to create your very own [apple and blackberry jam](https://www.calgiant.com/recipes/apple-blackberry-brown-sugar-jam)- the options are truly limitless!  If I'm in a festive mood or hosting a Hispanic brunch - this [strawberry lime and chia seed jelly](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/strawberry-lime-chia-jam) is delicious. I like to make traditional breakfast tacos with eggs, meat and cheese, but the crowd favorite is whole grain tortillas loaded with bananas, fresh berries, this homemade jam and a layer of whipped cream for a sweet summer burrito.  ![strawberry chia jam in a mason jar](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_9390-094686-edited.jpg?width=2134&name=IMG_9390-094686-edited.jpg)Do you have a favorite jam or jelly that you like to make for family gatherings or special occasions?
