I've never been there, but apparently you guys don't have blackberries, and have grape jam?
Edit: what you don't have is blackcurrants, not blackberries.
We absolutely have blackberries. In my neck of the woods, there's apparently 2 species of blackberries, one of which is highly invasive. I was going for walks about a month ago, specifically routed to pass by as many wild blackberries as possible, and they were very delicious!
Do you have blackberry jam? Or is it a different berry I was thinking of?
Edit: it's blackcurrants, isn't it?
I'm pretty sure we have blackberry jam, but I'm not much of a jam person, so I can't say so from personal experience. Although if we have the berries, I can't see why we wouldn't also have the jam. Looks like blackcurrants is probably what you were thinking of, although they're technically available in the US now.
