Only if there is any leftover jam do I use in oatmeal, yogurt, grilled cheese, and last but not least a good ole' PBJ packed for lunch ( my lunch of course :)

Cut out 1/4 cup of the suger in your favourite muffin recipe and add 1/2 a cup of any leftover jam. Chocolate muffins with leftover blackberry jam is my favourite!

Add a bit of berry jam to balsamic glaze, and then mix in salt and pepper and minced garlic for a delicious vinaigrette.

Leftover jam, preferably homemade, stirred in plain yogurt, preferably homemade. A perfect way to start and end your day.

Leftover jam goes next to leftover peanut butter between two slices of leftover bread. Yum!

There is never leftover jam! Only lovely jammy jars to fill with oatmeal, yogurt, or ice cream!

Is there such a thing as leftover jam? I stir it into oatmeal, put it in grilled cheese sandwiches, eat it on crackers...and constantly run out!

My grandma's molasses cookie recipe calls for a thumbprint of jam, a nostalgic way to use that last bit in a jar.

Leftover jam? I figure it is fruit so I just eat it straight up with a spoon. : )

I use jam to sweeten my salad dressing. My favorite is jalepeno raspberry sweet with a little kick.

Leftover jam always ends up on a toasted English muffin that has melted butter in each wonderful crevice. I also like to melt everything together for a crumb coating or mixed with frosting to use as a fling on cake.

My favorite thing to use it for is just flavoring plain yogurt, but I also like to use it as a swirl in quick breads.

I use leftover jam in grilled cheese sandwiches. All kinds of variations on this theme!

Our favorite is thinly sliced roasted turkey breast with provolone on sourdough spread with lingonberry (or other berry) jam and then grilled. I sometimes add apple or pear slices and/or some thinly sliced red onion. Also do Brie with jam and add-ins on sourdough. The sweet-tart seems to be a good counterpoint to the salty-savory of the cheese.

I often use it on pizza... yup pizza! Particularly Fig, Date, Pear (with blue cheese of course) or Apricot jams but also Raspberry, etc. I caramelize onions and mushrooms to go on top, a soft cheese (usually fresh goat cheese) and a whole wheat pizza dough! When I make pizza I usually like to make several different kinds, one with meat, one spicy, one salty and this sweeter version.
