Jam session: what to do with yummy hostess gifts
My friends are very generous and never come over to dinner empty-handed. That sometimes leads to an overflow of fancy foodie gifts. (Unless it's wine. Wine dissapears very quickly, for some reason.) Currently, my fridge is filled with 5 unopened jars of various jams and fruit butters. I don't often eat sweet things in the morning, so they sit there, unopened. My solution is to make jam sablés called "Bâtonnets suédois" (Sweedish sticks), an old recipe from my childhood. The stains on the pages should be proof enough that I've made that recipe time and time again!
I usualy make this treat with strawberry jam, but this time I used some lemon marmalade a neighbour gave me as a housearming gift. It came out great!
I bet even Carol Channing could not resist!
