Here are some of our favorites.
Chocolate Jams are great over ice cream, pound cake, yogurt, cheese cake, brownies, etc.
Marmalades are fabulous over all of the above, plus as a meat glaze - ham, chicken, pork chops. Put some in a crockpot with some of those frozen meatballs for a fabulous appetizer. Here is everything you need to know about making marmalade Now is citrus season, so you've got a great excuse to try something new, like blood oranges!
Pears are still easy to find and this Pear Ginger Jam is to die for. You can make it with either fresh pears that you cook until soft or canned pears.
This jam is great on yogurt! Or, try it with a cheese plate. I love it with manchego or brie. Mmmmm.
Savory jams are lovely with cheese trays. I love this Onion Bacon Garlic Jam with sliced apples or pears and gouda. [Or swiss, or manchego, or a fresh mozzarella...] Don't skimp on the bacon. Add as much as you want.
All those jams are fabulous, but my all time favorite is this Peach Chutney. I eat it on apples and pears. On meat. On sandwiches. With a spoon, by itself. On cream cheese. On any other cheese, especially brie.
In a baked brie - To. Die. For. And it's easy. Pour jam on a brie. Wrap the brie in a puff pastry and bake on 475 until golden. Serve warm.
Note: Most any jam is good in a baked brie: Raspberry, Apricot, Cherry, Marmalade, etc...
I hope I've inspired you to make a little jam this holiday season. Let me know if you try some. Have a wonderful week!
