I just learned the jam in Jammie Dodgers isn't raspberry or strawberry, and i'd never have guessed the real fruit

We’ve written before at HuffPost UK about how Jammie Dodgers got their name as well as what their signature heart cutouts mean.

But as surprising as those facts were, I was even more astonished to learn that Jammie Dodgers ― even the ’Original Raspberry’ kinds ― do not use jam made from raspberries.

Those listed on Burton’s site (Burton produces the biscuits) says that it uses a “raspberry-flavoured” version of another fruit’s jam.

Even their cherry and cola-flavoured versions use the same unexpected base.

...

According to Burton’s site, the original raspberry brand contains 27% “raspberry flavoured apple jam.”
