Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

Some of the most elegant spring desserts start with a perfect jar of preserves...

​15 Desserts You Can Make With a Jar of Jam!​

Jam desserts are one of the smartest (and most delicious) baking shortcuts waiting for you right in the jam aisle of your supermarket. I love to take advantage of the current trend for exotic flavors and unusual blended preserves to make unique jam desserts, but you might prefer the classics ~ you get to be the creative genius behind these recipes 🙂

This lineup of spring desserts is perfect for this transitional season ~ they're easy, share-able, elegant, and, of course, delicious.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

pear coffee cake

Hey friends❣️ The recipes that come out of the Great Island kitchen are a family affair. My oldest daughter works with me side by side on all aspects of the site, and she tackles some of the more complex recipes we share (have you seen our Swedish Cardamom Buns or our Bûche de Noël Cake?) My son-in-law is the force behind our multi-day homemade corned beef, and our foray into kefir making.
