We are snowed in and I need to put the marzipan on my Christmas cake. Trouble is I have no apricot jam. Has anyone ever used anything else?

I think apricot is traditional simply because it's a fairly bland colour and flavour. If it was me, I'd use the blueberry jam, can't see why that wouldn't work if the lumps are sieved out. Was really looking forward to some snow, drew the curtains this morning and we've only had a tiny dusting and a load of ice. Poo! Not fair! Tho' it looks like too much snow down south when I saw the news this morning.2025's challenges: 1) To fill our 10 Savings Pots to their healthiest level ever
