What do I do with Rose jam?

Lovely in a light lemon sponge.

I love Turkish Delight and can think of nothing nicer than some home made scones topped with Rose jam and Clotted cream!

Again, thank you everyone for your lovely ideas.
Over the weekend we will try it with some HM icecream and scones
Will let you know the outcome.....

I also thought maybe a queen of puddings? I would definety put a lot of lemon in the breadcrums because otherwise it could be far too sweet with rose jam under the meringue, but it could be amazing. I would also put some pistachios on the meringue if i did this.

Or, if you know children who like the taste of the jam, a lemon pastry jam tart......oh wow, i am going to try this.

Or pistachio or lemon or almond or even hazlenut biscuits sandwiched with rose jam, like super fancy jammy dodgers.

I made a lemon sponge ( thanks Jojo) and put some of the rose jam in the custard - it was lovely.
Hubby made some vanilla ice cream, we had some of last years raspberries in the freezer so blitz that up into a couli (sp) and added some of the jam to it , again really lovely.
Also made some scones and had the jam with some cream, again very nice. Problem is , we are now running short!
It's amazing that something you really didn't like could, with some help from MSE'ers, turn into something wonderful.:D
Thanks for all the ideas

Its not that hard to get hold of in some parts of the country. If you have a middle eastern/turkish type shop near you thy are very likely to stock it, or a small 'foreign foods' type store,..the kind that stocks favourites for people from various places overseas living here. We are lucky as we get it in London very easily.

try it with shortbread dipped in chocolate or with scones and cream. it sounds yummy.

Add a teaspoonful to hot cooked rhubarb - delicious!

I want to try it - I'll look out for a suitable shop as a trip to Morroco is out of the question at the moment
