I know comparisons are odious, but French jams/ confiture are just so damn pretty!
Tell me these are not simply gorgeous. I dare you!
Ma confiture,watercolor on Etsy, 5.5" x 7.5French jams are so well dressed too...
Ta confiture,watercolor on Etsy, 5.5" x 7.5And their surrounding interiors are nothing to sniff at either...YUM
Were lace doilies invented so Fr. jam could sit on them? 
It isn't just French sailors who get to wear the blue and white rayees/ stripes either.
And who invented the checked tablecloth pray tell? It has to be the French, so their jam jars could be decked out in the remaining scraps. Non?
Not all French jam is sweet by the way. At the Salon du Chocolat, there was chocolate-onion confit to be tasted and bought. I know it sounds weird but believe me it was divine. 
Everybody makes jam, just like everybody makes macarons. Laduree is no exception here...Much as I LOVE jam, I am not about to make it myself...
You need way too much equipment and there is all that so-called "cleaning up", which entails licking the bowl, the spoon, the pot etc.
As a matter of fact, no jar of real jam is allowed to cross my threshold. I have a tendency to eat jam straight out of the jar, like a container of yogurt. I have no self-control with jam. Only the tiniest mini jam jars are allowed and the lids of these do not unscrew EVER! I tried. These are all of 1/2" high. I do have an EXTREMELY large collection of miniature jam jars.
