With a powerful flavor and dark color, the marionberry is one of the most popular varieties and has sometimes been called the “Merlot of Blackberries”. Because of it’s popularity, legislators are even trying to make the marionberry the official Oregon State Berry. We would agree with Oregon, because the sweetness and depth of flavor in this jam make it a favorite in our home! Country Heritage Farms offers a 24 oz crock of sweet Marionberry Preserves for $15.95.
The website where I found these preserves – www.madeinoregon.com – has a virtual treasure trove of regional specialties, including cheese, wine, syrups and chocolates. I have only hit the tip of the iceberg with this website, so expect to see more reviews of gourmet foods that I order from this site.
