With fall in the air I thought a pumpkin jam would pair well with a whipped cream cheese mixed with cream fraiche and ricotta. I also made some with lingonberry and white nectarine. —Sagegreen

Will pompkin butter work as well? I don'thave pumpkin jam.

I just have the most wonderful pumpkin jam with almond that works well. I think pumpkin butter might work, but I would probably want a sweeter bread to put this on then, like a pumpkin tea bread rather than a whole grain one. Let me know if you try it that way and what you think. Thanks!

We tried it with a sweet, thinly slice, toasted Irish soda bread and sliced apples. It was wonderful. What brand is your pumpkin almond jam and where did you find it?

Thanks for letting me know. I'm so glad you liked it! My jam is from Sambores do Monte, Productos Alimtares Lda., aires.costa@mailtelepac.pt from Portugal, Rua do Carmo 11 7090-044 Alcavcovas, made with pumpkin, sugar, almonds and cinnamon, velvety smooth! I may try to make a home batch, as soon as I can find some time to cook again...which may be in a few weeks.

Please tell me how it turns out if you cook the jam. I found a recipe for a pumpkin ginger jam online and will try to make it, maybe with almonds or amaretto added!

Thanks, luvcookbooks. I was looking for a healthy, quick cheesecake alternative! The pumpkin jam has some almond in it, which makes this really luscious.

I love lavender! And seckel pears are really so delicate and delicious. They pair well together.
