My sisters and I have always said that one of the best parts of visiting my Opa and Oma is eating food. Whether it be cheese or home-cooked steak and fries, food and family are inextricably linked for us.
But there's one item we talk about missing non-stop: Opa's homemade jam. We love it, not just because he makes it himself, but because it's genuinely way better than any store-bought jams.
It's chunkier, super sugary, and goes perfectly on sweet or savory foods. It may sound a little out there, but a spoonful of this jam on top of a slice of Gouda cheese is heaven – trust me.
