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!
