Which one?

Stock up next time if you like them.

Good to know. I really like them. I've used them for fish, tofu, and
shrimp. My BF likes them with chicken. And the back says you can also
do chickpeas or lentils or potaotes.......many options!!

my MIL is crazy about TJs jams. Uses the cherry preserves over ice
cream in the evening. She buys them in every flavor. Personally, I love
the Bonne Maman jams if i'm buying anything with sugar and not an
all-fruit. My daughter loves Dickson's preserves. And of course,
anything from the farm stand.
