This Jam- although made in a microwave is, to say the least, the most amazing jam ever!! The strawberries picked fresh and warm from the veggie garden and with a careful watch of the eye, sticky, sweet jam is created in minutes.
I was in the mood to do some baking last week and decided to use a good old recipe from none other than 'Frankie' magazine.
Basic Almond Jam Drop Biscuits were the way to go. Thank-You Frankie!!
Almond Drops with home-made Jam.
80g soft butter
80g caster sugar
2 tbsp milk
finely grated zest of a lemon
1/2 tsp vanilla paste
1/2 cup almond meal
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 cup custard powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
jam of your choice
Cream the butter and sugar until nice and fluffy.
Add the milk, zest and vanilla and beat again.
Add the ground almonds, then sift the flour, custard powder and baking powder into the bowl.
Stir gently until all is well combined.
Cover the bowl and put in the fridge for 15 minutes (the mixture will be quite sticky)
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Take the mixture out and roll teaspoonfuls into balls and place on a tray, leaving room to spread.
Using your thumb of base of a wooden spoon make a dent into the centre to add the jam to.
Add about 1/4 - 1/2 tsp jam into each biscuit.
place tray into fridge for about 10 mins.
Once the time is up, place the tray into the oven and bake for approximately 10 mins or until slightly golden, then remove and place on a wire rack to cool.
Let them cool before eating as the jam is like lava.
Makes about 24.
