My Iranian friend makes his own homemade bacon ice cream... uses bacon grease instead of the fatty cream and maple syrum instead of sugar. Throws in some bits of bacon when it's almost done. Sounds revolting but is actually quite good.

A currant is a dried grape.

Blackcurrants and redcurrants are a different thing entirely, but they are specifically called blackcurrant and redcurrant. They are not types of currant.

I'm guessing you may use currant for blackcurrant?

Currants can be black, red or white. Most often though the jelly will indicate. To account for all you would have to do separate searches for black currant, blackcurrant, red currant, redcurrant, and so on, and add the totals. The different currants are different species so I would say that's like combining blackberry and raspberry for one answer.

I tried gooseberry jam and gooseberry jelly, (578,000 and 434,000 hits, respectively.) Gooseberries are a first cousin of the currant, but I didn't even think to try currant. BTW, I made 63 jars of gooseberry jam this spring. Surely that should have boosted the stats. ;-)

This might be a UK thing, but isn't orange jam just marmalade? And onion jam just chutney?
+1
Level 62
Apr 13, 2016
Marmalade is usually orange flavour, but you can have other citrus fruits in it. As the description says, the point is to guess to particular flavour of the various jams, jellies, marmalades and preserves. It doesn't say they're all called jam. Chutney can be various flavours too - mango chutney being a famous example.

This quiz seems possibly inaccurate. There are too many things that could go at the end of the flavours. How is cranberry not on here? Cranberry sauce (eaten with roast turkey especially) is extremely popular, at least in the UK. Also, "blackcurrant" should be accepted for "currant" (as the main type of currant jam). And "bramble" should be accepted and taken into account for "blackberry".

In the US, jellied cranberries are not the same thing as cranberry jelly. Here, jelly refers to adding pectin and sugar to fruit juice and cooking until clear and thickened. Jam refers to mashing the whole fruits and cooking with sugar until thickened, and preserves are pieces of fruit (not mashed) cooked with sugar until clear and thickened. Marmalade is made with citrus fruits. We also have butters (apple butter is the favorite) made by pureeing the fruits, adding sugar, and cooking for hours until dark and sweet.

Yeah, blackcurrant should be accepted. I’m guessing they don’t make jams from already preserved fruits, so currants must refer to this most excellent of jams…
