We are having a family breakfast and the debate came up. Do you butter the toast before putting on the peanut butter? Or do you just put the peanut butter straight on your toast?

I disagree! The butter greatly enhances the flavor moreso than keeping the jam on. If anything it allows the jam to slide off more easily.

    this may depend on the jam. I found when I make homemade jam that if I don't have a butter bottom, it ends up gliding all over the toast and doesn't spread as easy/doesn't stick

    What kind of jam are you making? My partner recently got into making blackberry jam and we dont have issues with liquidity. Maybe the jam needs to be dehydrated more before it's canned?

    I'm not sure what type it is called, we combine sure jell pectin, sugar and berries. So it's not /completly/ homemade as it is using an agent, but it's close enough for us.

    We made raspberry and blackberry jam with it. Blackberry is the one that I tend to have that issue with, raspberry is hit or miss but generally good

    Blackberries are supposed to have natural pectin in them. You could be straining them too much and removing the natural pectin from the juice. Idk worth experimenting with I'd say

    We do add butter to ours to help reduce the amount of foaming during the boiling process. So that might have something to do with it too
