Bonne Maman

I was thinking about the jam I was eating called "Bonne Maman" and if I remembered correctly from my French class "Bonne" means "Good" and I knew that but I wondered if it had more meaning than that so I ran it through "Google Translate" and it came up "Good" So, Bonne Maman literally means
"Good Mother" in French. So, the next time you buy Bonne Maman Raspberry or Blueberry Jam at the market you are buying literally "Good Mother' preserves. However, if you put Maman in Google Translate it literally says "Mom". So I took a liberty in saying "Good Mother" because it seemed more appropriate to the situation.
