    I am making some white chocolate candies for Halloween that will have a "blood" filling, so I am looking for recommendations for jam or jelly that has no seeds, and isn't too runny or too stiff. What kinds of red do you like? I'm partial to Raspberry All Fruit, but I'd like to hear what other folks use.

    Please, no online suggestions.

    Thanks!

    So all suggestions should be sent (via USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc.) or presented in-person only?

    HI,

    Sometimes stuff is frozen, then encapulated. You would then have red liquid flowing like blood.

    You can always cook down the jelly to get the consistency you want.

    ...and strain out the seeds

    I really can't think of any commercial jams that are red (as opposed to pink) In terms of smoothness, how about a jelly rather than a jam or spread, since those tend to have more fiber from the fruit in them, even the seedless ones. My suggestion would be to find something with the texture and flavor you like, and add some red food coloring.

    I think either black or red currant jam (depending on the brand, or even a mix of the two) will get you in a nice blood-red ballpark.
