Gotta Find the Jam, Man!

Somewhere I read about an expansive jam from Britian, can't remember where I read about it (Here? Gastronomica? The Saturday Evening Post?) but a woman described it as teeny tiny whole strawberries and oh-so-delicious.

Cannot google myself into it . . .

The preserving thread, which captivated me yesterday, made me remember it.

Can you help me?

I like to bake nice things. And then I eat them. Then I can bake some more.

I am assuming this would be jam made from "frais des bois" (tiny wild strawberries) so you might try searching on that term.

Could it have been 'Wilkin and Sons Ltd, Pure Little Scarlet Strawberry Jam' described in this Vancouver thread?

Thank you everyone who helped -- it is Tiptree's Little Scarlet. And ever since I posted this question, as it would be, I've seen it everywhere. Especially after I ordered two jars online.

I'll hit Dean and Deluca anyway, as I've had other flavors recommended to me now (medlar . . . ) and I want to try them.

I have seen this preserve and always wondered why it was so much more expensive than the other Wilkin's preserves. I must try it soon!
