This is such a treat, my hubby and I went threw a whole loaf of bread and then tried it on ice cream!” - barbarafoulks16 “Yes 'Bourbon' Peach Jam. Slap some butter on a buttermilk biscuit and give this jam a try! Or in a sauce for some good old BBQ ribs! This has just a hint of bourbon, cinnamon and vanilla flavor. A really nice combination of flavors don't you think? Oh, and let's not leave out the awesome peach flavor!!” - DeeDee2011
