I like making my own jams, my family always has done it, but I recently noticed something: nobody eats apple jam, despite it being delicious.
Every year this anomaly irks me more and more.
There's a lot of apple production in my country and the jam section of any supermarket here has strawberry, peach, blueberry, pear, plum, and sometimes even orange jam, but there never is apple jam.
Why? WHY?
If people likes pear jam, why wouldn't they like apple jam?
Maybe because pears, peaches, plums and berries are shorted lived and more a pain in the ass to transport without them getting bruised, while apples are more sturdy, so it's more profitable to throw the delicate cheap crops into jars and sell the apples fresh.
Apple jam is probably the second most common jam here, what else are you supposed to do with all the apples?
Duh, sell them to rich countries so you can funnel those dollars to Miami
Anyways, the second part of the post was gonna be about how a lot of famous desserts that could have apple jam are filled with other jams. For example, I have watched all the bake offs, sugar rush, zumbos, and etc and never saw even a single cupcake filled with apple jam
