using left over jam

vyvyan_2

I bought a jar of this to do the marzipan & icing for the Christmas cake (I'll use marmalade next year!) and I've got 2/3 of jar left over. I won't get used for cake making before next Christmas and I'd like to use it up - any ideas?

Can't ya put it on ya toast one breakfast or failing that stick it in the bottom of a sponge pudding or melt it and baste chicken breats with is as they roast.

As it's a preserve it will last for a long time - honest;) That's what all the sugar is for. But you could just bung it in a tub and freeze it for next year's cake.

Heat the jam through in a saucepan and pour over ice cream!

Put it at the bottom of a sponge pud (so it becomes the top when you tip it out) or have it with croissants (yummy).

you could place it a pan with some water bring to boil and simmer till jam is
disolved if still to thick add some more water add some chopped crystalized ginger serve with roast pork

If you bung it in the 'fridge it should be ok for next year, sugar is a preservative, that's why jam etc are called preserves! Seriously tho', no need to waste it, should be fine for your next Christmas cake creation!

Spread it on the bread in a bread & butter pudding - yum!
