Brand: Trader Joe's Prince of Denmark
Fruit: Strawberry
Location: Denmark
Rating: Good*
We love TJ's, but we have yet to taste a jam of theirs that blows us away. After going through a jar of their Organic Raspberry a number of weeks ago, we started in on their Prince of Denmark Strawberry this week.
The results were not bad, but not great. The jam lacked body and was really quite runny for a whole berry jam. We like it more jammy, don't you? Otherwise we'd buy jelly. On the sweetness meter too, we felt this could have been sweeter or had more tang like last week's Duchy Originals. In short, this jam won't offend and the natural ingredients will soothe the conscience, but it certainly won't wake you up in the morning. This is a jam for use with peanut butter.

I bought this same jam and I really am disappointed. I uded to get the 100% strawberry jam at TJ's but it was apparently replaced by this. It smells just on the brink of rancid to me. Yuck!
Interesting article, I thought it was only me. I'm a huge TJ's fan, & likewise have yet to taste a preserve that keeps me going back for the same thing. I always stand at that section wondering which to pick. I've tried them all. I usually get Dundee marmelade.
While I still think of my grandma's strawberry jam as the only "real" jam in this world, I do like TJ's Orange-Apricot jam--great for PBJs while camping.
I have yet to taste anything as good as the Prince of Denmark Strawberry Preserves. I am sorry they are not selling it any longer. It was absolutely wonderful on a french omelet and mixed in with TJ's plain nonfat yogurt.
I have not bought any preserves at TJ since they stopped selling Prince of Denmark as none have that wonderful taste. I wish they would bring it back.
i loved Prince of Denmark Raspberry Preserves. Used it all the time as a condiment for chicken or pork plus PB and J.
Is there anywhere else we can get it ??

I am sooooo sorry that this jam has been discontinued. Is it possible to purchase any where else?
Trader Joe's made a huge mistake when they dropped the Prince of Denmark line of preserves. Prince of Denmark Raspberry is the best I've ever tasted. Is TJ's the sole U.S. distributor?
Please please please tell me where I can purchase the Prince of Denmark preserves since Trader Joe's has none of their shelf.
P L E E A S E, bring back Prince of Denmark rasberry jam. It is the only one I truly enjoyed on my biscottes in the morning since I found it at a TJ 5 years ago. Where can I purchase it if TJ drops the brand ?
You have received lots of comments/questions about Prince of Denmark preserves, but no posted answers from TJ. Where and when can we purchase Prince of Denmark Strawberry Preserves now? Why isn't TJ offering them any more? Do you answer these questions?
Your decision to discontinue the Prince of Denmark strawberry preserve was absolutely bad. You have always been recognized as a store that specializes in quality products. By discontinuing the Prince of Denmark you have not been true to your reputation.
Loaded the car with our cooler bags and headed to Chicago to visit our favorite TJ store..top of the list was the Prince of Denmark strawberry perserve. That was a disappointment when we were told you no longer carry it. Any clue where we can obtain this product? I see by the comments prior to mine quite a few others miss this brand also. Would appreciate any assistance here. Thanks!
Where oh where did the Prince of Denmark raspberry preserves go??? If you're not going to handle this product, who is? My Grand Daughter and I are very disappointed in Trader Joes for dropping this item. Any idea where we can purchase it now, or won't you tell us?
What a bummer to search the Trader Joe stores n Chevy Chase and Falls Church for Prince of Denmark. I like both berries. Gone. Staff said "Trader Joe decided to drop it." Contracting problems? Where can I buy it now?
I loved Prince of Denmark strawberry preserves. The problem with TJ is once I find a product I really like sooner or later they drop it from the line. It is frustrating enough that I’m thinking of not going back! I guess they get bored with the same items even when many customers love it. They should find a way to supply those customers when they drop a item from the stores.
I spoke with our TJ's "captain" here in Indianapolis and was told that they had had numerous problems with availability from the supplier. I, myself, can attest to the fact that the strawberry preserves would go in and out of stock periodically for no apparent reason.
I have since tried the TJ's branded preserves and they. . . are nothing to write home about (read: I bought one jar and will not buy another as I ration out my last jar of PoD). I absolutely loved the Prince of Denmark and am saddened to see TJ's replace it with this new product that has corn syrup in it. The captain said he would bring up the corn syrup thing with the buyers. I don't know what good that will do, but he mentioned that he avoids corn syrup too.
Please bring back Prince of Denmark preserves.They are the best jams ever.I am soley disapointed that TJ's is no longer carrying it.
My husband and I agree with all the positive comments about PD Strawberry. It actually has a strawberry flavor not just sweet. We drove to Cleveland to get it. Please let us know if it comes back!!! The Douglases of Pgh

hmm... Sorry to all the disappointed PD fans, who seem to vastly outnumber me, but I did not like this jam. But every jam I eat gets compared with my grandparents' homemade.
If anyone else wants really good homemade-like strawberry jam, for not a lot of money, try Bonne Maman. It's in most NYC grocery stores, including key food and Fresh Direct (but not TJ's, though I do love TJ's).
If you are on the lookout for homemade style, the key is that strawberries are listed as first ingredient, sugar second. Bonne Maman lists strawberries first. PD listed sugar first. Believe me, BM is still VERY sweet. Yum!
Prince of Denmark Strawberry and Orange Marmalade were the best ever! Dan Trade in California was Trader Joe's supplier, however they won't return e-mails or take phone calls. If anyone has found these preserves since Trader Joe's discontinued them, please post!!!
