I need some ideas. Over the past few months, I’ve collected these…
Assortment of Jams, Jellies & Preserves
Three of them came from generous Foodie Penpals (and I love them all!) One was a gift from Rob’s mom. The final two we just purchased on vacation. To be honest, I rarely eat jams, jellies or preserves; but I do love them and don’t want these to go to waste. I’m looking for some ideas on how to use them other than just on toast.
Here are a few of my ideas:
- Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich {duh!}
- Stir into Greek Yogurt
- Stir into/ Use as a Topping for Oatmeal
I need more creative ideas! I know I could make a bunch of desserts; but I don’t bake, if only because I have trouble eating baked goods in moderation. Sweets aren’t generally kept in my house for that reason. So I’d love some breakfast, lunch and dinner suggestions for using jams, jellies and preserves.
Here are the flavors I’ve stocked:
- Sarabeth’s Peach Apricot (New York, NY)
- Tupelo Honey Cafe Black Raspberry (Asheville, NC)
- Homemade Peach (Palisade, CO)
- Wild Pumpkin Blueberry Lime (Beaverton, MI)
- Wild Pumpkin Orange Marmalade (Beaverton, MI)
- Wild Pumpkin Strawberry (Beavertown, MI)
How do you use Jams, Jellies & Preserves?
Suggestions & Recipes Encouraged

You could use the peach/peach-apricot thinned down a little with either ACV or water and used to brush on grilled chicken. Much like you would a BBQ sauce or use the berry ones as a topper for a semi-soft cheese/cracker plate.
I need some suggestions for peach preserves and fig jam as well! I bought the fig jam for pizza but I didn’t use it as often as I thought I would. 😉
Baked brie with the jam/preserves on top of it! YUMMMY!
Oh Dear! How did I forget about that one!!! It’s so hard to control portion size, though… Hmm… Could bring to a party!
I was going to add the baked brie but Jared beat me to it!

Put the jam on sandwiches (with yummy crusty bread or a sweet roll maybe) with ham, cream cheese/goat cheese (or some other cheese of your choice) and maybe even apple slices (I’m thinking the peach or strawberry would be great with this).
