Raspberry jam
Introduction
Our tasters rated 8 raspberry jams and came up with a clear winner - and a tail-ender.
Kiwis love raspberry jam – it’s their favourite. We asked our 342 home tasters which of the brands had that real raspberry fruit flavour.
Find out what they thought of the jams, and which brand rated tops.
Our home trial
The raspberry jams were blind-tasted by 342 home tasters. Each taster received two coded samples of jam; and each jam was first tasted “au naturel” and then spread on toast, bread or a crumpet and tasted again.
Our tasters rated the jam’s taste and consistency (too runny, just right or too stiff) and gave an overall rating.
Samples of the 8 jams
The jams trialled were:
- Anathoth Raspberry Jam

Our thanks to all the tasters - especially to those who commented on pips, after-taste, colour and other qualities of the jams they tried.
