Using up jam

rogueylawyer

A bit of a strange one but...

I am trying to run down the supplies as we are moving house in 7 weeks. So far I've been reasonably successful in using up the many packets of cous cous/pasta/random ingredients I bought for one recipe and never really used again.

I have one big sticking point though, and it's jam.

I have three jars of open strawberry jam in the fridge. It's from the days of cream teas with friends, but these have been shelved over the last few months (and I never feel brilliant turning up with a half used jar of jam from the back of the fridge).

Does anyone have any uses for strawberry jam over than a Victoria Sponge or endless rounds of jam on toast? It's just not something I use except with cream and scones!

Thoughts gratefully appreciated

Make a sponge then top with jam and coconut for a tasty dessert.

Flavour natural yoghurt with jam - If it's too sweet add some chopped fruit.

Queen of Puddings? I always just use what ever jam is lurking in the fridge for this! http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/main-ingredient/meringue/queen-of-puddings.html

Take it to work if you have a communal kitchen? Do some baking for the Halloween visitors?

Steamed jam pud, dollops in rice pudding, jam tarts ...

I would happily put it on a ham I was roasting. That would use some put. I know it wouldn't be to some people's taste tho.

Good old fashioned jam tarts?

In a summer pudding.

Bread and butter pudding.

Steamed jam pud

I love steamed jam pudding I use this recipe, but I put syrup instead of treacle in the sponge mix and put jam instead of syrup in the basin. I also warm up some more jam and pour it over afterwards.

We eat jam with good plain yoghurt, like the Greek stuff from Lidl. Or on top of ice cream. Also as a cheesecake topping and with sponge pud. I also use it with chopped cooking apples as a crumble base.

This thread has lots of ideas that should help:

using left over jam

I'll add this thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

I think a crumble may be on today's agenda. And I feel silly for not thinking of putting it with rice pudding.

I would take it to work but we only have a kettle, it would just sit.

The problem is, we don't really eat pudding at home
