Seven Ways to Use Jam

10/29/2018

0 Comments

 
We all know jam and jelly as the J in PBJ, and as the best friend to a slice of toast. But there are ways to use jams beyond the toaster and the lunch box, especially our locally made Jana’s Jammy’s. Take a look!
  • Jam can be swirled into the top of a cheesecake before it is baked. Drop a few tablespoons of your jam of choice – Raspberry Star Anise and Apricot are especially good – onto the top of a plain cheesecake after you pour the batter into the pan, and swirl it around with a table knife.
  • Certain kinds of jams, like Organic Cherry, can be used for glazing meats, like ham or pork tenderloin.
  • Drizzle some jam into softened vanilla ice cream and stir it in – instant Lemon Blueberry Conserve or Honey Strawberry swirl!
  • Apricot jam, heated and strained, makes a good glaze for fruit tarts.
  • Use jams as the filling for thumbprint cookies. Or use Raspberry Star Anise jam to fill a Linzer torte.
  • Take any flavor jam, heated slightly, can be drizzled over a plain pound cake.
  • The next time you make pancakes or French toast, why not use jam or jelly as a topping instead of maple syrup?
