Jam and eggs

Spirit_2

I have sorted out the fridge and found we have a lot of opened jars of jam. I also have a lot (at leat 3 dozen) of eggs.


Any suggestions what I can do with these - we need a pudding for today but really I would like something to go in the freezer.


Thank you

Scrambled eggs for lunch then jam tart baking this afternoon!

You could use some of the eggs to make yorkshire pudding batter then freeze it in portions to use with roast dinners.

(And you could make some today and have it as a dessert with jam!)

Jam upside down pudding?

Use a flat bottomed bowl for best effect. Pyrex is best as you can use it in microwave or oven and you can see it without opening the door (unless your oven door is dirty like mine J)

Stick some jam in the bottom of the bowl.
Add cake mix.
Cook until cake is springy.
Leave to cool for 5 minutes (important as jam is very hot at this stage)
Tip onto serving plate.

I use the following cake mix:



Weigh your shelled eggs.
Add the same weight of SR flour, caster sugar and butter.
A dash of strawberry flavouring / vanilla essence is optional but tasty.
Lump everything in the mixer.
Mix.

Baked custard. Yummy.

Tortilla? Put oven on high and put a baking tin in the oven with some oil in it. Chop up an onion. Add some cubed potatoes and ut in the tray and leave to brown. Add any old wrinkly veg at the same time. When onions etc are brown, tip in 6 beaten, seasoned eggs and top with grated cheese. Bring out when cheese is brown. Eat hot or cold.

Meringues? Doesn't Madeira cake take a lot of eggs?

we are having roast beef so will have yorkie puds with that as planned but I had no idea that you could freeze batter - Thankyou.

The egg count got bigger as I found a nest of at least 2 dozen eggs in the garden this afternoon:eek:, but my neighbour has taken them.

Souffle omelettes? Seperate the eggs, (1 or 2 per person) beat the whites till stiff, mix the yolks with one teaspoon of suger per yolk, fold back into the egg white. Heat a knob of butter in the frying pan, make omelette, fill with warmed jam. Works best with a 1-2-egg omlette in the average omelette pan so you do have to do them in shifts and eat them straight away, but they are yum.

Oooh, Jam omelette! Now trying to remember which murder book had the cyanide in the jam. Dorothy Sayers I think. Strong Poison.

No....our neighbours are truly wonderful...........I asked them if they would take them - it was brave of them really as I do not know how long they had been there

not more than 3 weeks. All eggs will need cracking before use.
