BEST OVERALL JELLIES AND PRESERVES
Hurley Farms Apricot Jam
The best-tasting jam we sampled came from Sheri Hurley, who decided seven years ago to make preserves with the fruit that fell from her trees on her five-acre property in Napa Valley, California. Today, the family-run company makes 10 different jams; Hurley's dad maintains the orchard, and her 16-year-old daughter helps out in the kitchen. Panelists liked the apricot jam's sweet characteristics sorbet and dried apricots came to mind. ($4.75 for a 6-ounce jar, hurleyfarms.com, 707-257-3683)
