Mix them with yogurt: If you want to transform your cup of plain yogurt to fruit flavoured yogurt, add some jam to it. You can mix any jam of your choice with a cup of yogurt to get flavoured yogurt instantly.
Top ice-cream scoops with them: Jams can easily double up as decadent toppings, and the best way to use them is to top your favourite ice-creams with any jam. Chocolate ice-cream will go great with raspberry jam, for example. If you want to spruce up your vanilla ice-cream, then the possibilities are endless and you can experiment with any flavour of jam that you like.
Stuff jam inside French toast: Stuff your bread pieces with jam before coating them with the egg and milk bath and toasting them, to make some stuffed French toasts.
Use them as frosting for cupcakes: Don’t have whipped cream to frost your batch of cupcakes? No worries — jams to the rescue! Just get hold of your favourite jam or marmalade and get frosting! Jams are naturally sweet and can double up as the perfect frostings to add some fruity freshness to your banana, strawberry or any other fruit cupcakes.
Jams can be used as ganache for cakes/cupcakes: Jams can also be added to cake batter to make swirly patterns in cakes or can even be added to a batch of freshly baked cupcakes as ganache. Cut a hole inside your cupcake and put some whipped jam inside a piping bag. Pipe the jam inside the depression in the centre of your cupcake, top it with the cut out part and frost it with a frosting of choice.
