Sometimes we make much more jam than we can use.
As a result, food may become sugary.
You won't be able to use this jam in the usual way. But you shouldn't rush to throw it away.
How to use candied jam
Bake a pie
You can find ways to make decent pies that include jam. Usually, it is added directly to the dough.
For one and a half cups of flour, take a cup of jam and half a cup of flour. Everyone will be happy with the result.
Cook some compote
Despite the fact that the jam has already crystallized, you can make an excellent drink on its basis. As a rule, one glass of jam is taken per liter of water.
To prevent the taste from being too sweet, you can add a few spoons of lemon juice.
Puff pastry pies
You can make excellent pies using puff pastry. In this case, you can use our jam as a filling.
For half a kilo of dough take a glass of filling.
Interesting marinade
If you are cooking chicken or pork, these types of meat go well with an unusual marinade. To prepare it, you will need to mix a spoonful of mustard and candied jam, add four spoons of soy sauce, add ginger powder and a few cloves of garlic.
Salt and other spices can be added at your discretion.
