Strawberry Kiwi jam is the biggest hit around here. I made a Peach Apricot
Ginger jam that I liked, but got no feed back from recipiants (sp?), so
never made it again.

I made a nice Seville Orange Marmalade in February. Lime Marmalade sounds
interesting...let me know what you decide - I might hound you for the
recipe,
