Danish Orchards Preserves, Strawberry, 4-Pound

I once ordered a 4-pack of this jam a couple of years ago and was very pleasantly surprised by its rich, natural flavor (with big chunks of strawberries in it). I've been waiting and watching for Amazon to make it available again, and now I'm a monthly subscriber. I haven't been able to find this item locally, so my Amazon subscription is the only way to obtain it. I highly recommend this jam. It's about 25% more expensive than Smuckers strawberry jam (which is pretty good), but I feel it's worth the extra money because Smuckers is a bit syrupy (and doesn't have actual chunks of strawberries in it) compared to this jam. It's also "shelf-stable", which means you don't have to refrigerate it after opening. The tub is reusable, too, with a pop-on lid so that you can store small items in it (I have an assortment of nails and screws in my old containers).

The only problem I have with this product is the way Amazon ships it. I've purchased this item six or seven times now, and three of those times, at least one tub has been ruptured. I've called Amazon each time and requested a partial refund or replacement for the ruptured tubs (and of course Amazon gave it to me). I would suggest that Amazon find a better way to pack these tubs--they just don't travel well via UPS.

But for the product itself: five stars!

The package arrived in a mess. Jam dripping from the box. My dog loved the clean-up. The carton was exactly as pictured, but should have been shrink-wrapped. It was simply laid on its side with packing tossed in the box and off it went. The trip was too much for it....and it popped open and spilled out into the bottom of the box......and leaked out of the packing box. A total mess. But, in true Amazon style, I was given a refund and an apology for the inconvenience. After the sticky clean up....and my refund.....it turned out fine and Mama-Dog loved all the cleaning of the driveway and the garage floor and was not the least bit inconvenienced.

The packaging on this item, when received today, had failed. One of the plastic tubs partially opened in transit, resulting in strawberry preserves all over the contents of the box. It also has a 'best used before', date of 1/27/13 on the label. I just got the package on the 15th of February. Disappointed all around. However, it's good tasting stuff! Just needs better packaging.

At $10 for 4lbs and great reviews, I really wanted to like this. However when the shipment arrived, there were leaked strawberry preserves everywhere.
