jam disaster

[hellybelly]

I made plum jam for the first time and unfortunately I think I must have over cooked it because it has set almost solid.Does anyone have any ideas what I could do with the jam as it seems a shame to waste it.

[SilverSage]

Melt it down, add a little extra liquid, and use it as a fabulous dessert sauce!

Over ice cream.
Over pound cake.
Over bread pudding.
Over fruit cobbler.

Or use it as a syrup over pancakes.

The possibilities are endless.

Or, on a similar line to Silversage, melt it down and add some liquid and put it back in jars. E voila, your jam is jam again.

Maybe try it with one jar first to see how much water you need.

[Big Daddy's House]

Heat some of it in the microwave and dunk some bisciuts in it.

Make a flan by putting some of it in the bottom of a dish and pout the custard over it before baking it.

My great grandma used to make the best plum jam from plums on her tree. She was a terrible cook and never used a recipe, so most years it was like a pancake syrup, man it was good on pancakes.
