Jam-A-Lot

Raspberry jam in a standard vinaigrette is also a good one. I like it on a spinach salad.

Split-second cookies are the simpler cousin of thumbprints. (That recipe was originally on Chowhound’s editorial side, which was where I discovered it.) And @mig, who makes a lot of jam, introduced me to “jamaretti”, a version that uses almond paste in the dough.

Swiss roll is by far my favorite use of jam!

In the non-traditional use category, I remember a grape jelly-based glaze for meatballs that used to be popular.

So I could see any jam / preserve plus a spice element (gochujang, sriracha, hot sauce of your choice) and tart element (vinegar, tamarind, orange juice) mixing into a good sweet-sour-spicy glaze or bbq sauce for meatballs or chicken thighs or ribs or any other meat.

I’ve also mixed jam and sriracha / hot sauce together as a topping for baked Brie (inspired by hot pepper jelly).

And if you like something sweet with cheese, spread some inside a grilled cheese.

On the more traditional front, there’s also rugelach and hamantaschen.

And you can thin it a bit to use as a cocktail syrup / flavored simple syrup (I used strawberry syrup recently in an old fashioned and it was lovely, but orange would be even better).

And of course I couldn’t resist making a couple of jars of Clementine Jam that Stef_bakes had posted!

I bet that’s where I first saw the recipe for split seconds!

Bakewell Tarts, my fave!
Or just a regular old Jam tarts. For some reason, I find them more exciting than Thumbprint cookies.

Jam and mint or ginger muddled into a cocktail! I don’t have a specific recipe, but blackberry, raspberry, or strawberry jam added into a collins-like drink can be a delicious way to use a tablespoon of fruity goodness at the home bar

Here’s a rugelach recipe from Jo Cooks for jam-based cookies. I haven’t made this particular recipe, but it’s a good idea.

Appetizer - Jam spooned over a brick of softened cream cheese for spreading on crackers.

Egg roll sauce/dip - plum jam is best, but others work too - doesn’t use a lot but every bit helps, right?

Just thought of another UK classic that uses jam: Trifle
Brits must have had a lot of jam to use up…

I like making this spiced apple butter to freeze, and then use it in the bottom of apple pies or tarts.

Also, this butterscotch brownie is a winner and will accommodate a great variety of jam. It’s not unlike the Split Seconds in its simplicity, but has a good jolt of cardamom.

Blueberry babka. I used up about 1 and 1/3 half-pints of jam. A bit slippery to assemble, but worth it.

Yes to pliatsok. My mom always made it with plums and also with apples

Having just finished our bon maman advent calendar has me wondering about gooseberry jam. There was no sample of it. My mother had gooseberry bushes in Montréal and we use to have this jam. Never really see it here in ontario. A check on Amazon.ca shows some jars but unavailable. A 550 grm jar from Poland is 550 grms is $105. Canadian. Can you believe this.
