Who remembers the classic IXL jams? They were a staple in every Aussie kitchen and breakfast table and had the luscious taste of real fruit in every spoonful. What was your favourite flavour? Tell us here.

We have relied upon IXL Breakfast Marmalade for decades now. But it hasn’t been available for nearly a year now! PLEASE BRING BACK THE MARMALADE!!

My favourite IXL jam was Melon and Lemon. I was devastated when they stopped making this jam

My Mother used to make this. The Melons grew in a paddock near Canning Bridge, the Lemons came from our Garden and, I think, Mother used to put a bit of Ginger in the mix. Easy to make, cheap and delicious.

There are only two companies that make Australian jam now Here are Woolies prices
Old Factory $6.50 for 470g jar
Buderim $5.00 for 375g jar
Gardeners although made here has only 15% Aussie ingredients
St Delfour and Bonne Maman are both made in France. Roses made in NZ also
Most of the jams and marmalade including Cottees are made in NZ from imported ingredients but doesn't say where those ingredients come from.
