Don't laugh but it's suprisingly good as a cheese and jam sandwich, use it like a pickle.

My kids wouldn't eat cheese butties when they were little, I worked with a scandinavian lass at the time and she used to bring cheese and jam butties to work so I tried one, really good.

Due to the generosity of my family I now have 5 jars of jam in varying flavours (raspberry, redcurrant and damson I think)

I live with OH and both of us like jam but we don't really eat it on bread or toast

What can I make with it! I through to make a victoria sponge but I usually make small cakes or biscuits so they can go in packed lunches. We don't eat many puddings so I might get away with the odd steamed sponge or roly poly but certainly not 5 jars worth! Baking ideas would suit better.

All ideas appriciated

I'd be interested in responses too as I have the same 'problem'!

Perhaps jam tarts would be good for lunch boxes?

drop a blob of jam onto muffins before putting them in the oven and you get a lovely jammy centre, makes plain muffin mix more interesting

Hi,

I'm sure a dollop would go all right in porridge.

Home made scones or anything that keeps for guests.

A dollop in rice pudding might go well.

I was thinking maybe adding a bit to greek style yoghurt or home made yoghurt. It might be a bit sweet.

Porridge and rice pudding are now on the mealplan for next week!

I'd go with the porridge option. I often use jam, or honey instead of sugar.

Make a crumble recipe (i.e. as in apple crumble). Add the appropriate amount of jam once the crumble has cooled.
