Jams and Spreads

As someone who bakes a lot of bread recipes, I’m always looking for interesting jams and spreads to eat along with it. Here you will find all of my recipes for jams & spreads, including my classic strawberry jam recipe, a simple rhubarb jam recipe, and a naturally sweetened apple butter.

Rhubarb Ice Cream + Rhubarb Jam
I can say with certainty that I simply enjoy the taste of quince, especially in the form of jam. This quince jam is of course delicious spread on toast with a little butter, but also makes a nice substitute for raspberry jam as the filling in Linzer cookies. Enjoy! // alexandracooks.com
