Originally posted by yo its meRollypolly sounds fun, even though I have no idea what it is. Jam on pancakes works, but I would never use it up if I only had it on pancakes (which I have every few months). Jam also works in plain yoghurt, but again, I'd never use it up. I have had jam once or twice because I had had guests who ate jam, and I ended up having to throw away the rest.
Well don't bother making jam tarts with it, in my experience no one actually wants to eat them when they're made. Or jam rollypolly. How about on pancakes?
Originally posted by NordlysIt's only really worth all the effort of jam making if one is making a lot. Once it's in the jar it'll last for a long time, but when you open the jar I think it's about 4months in the fridge, although my mum seams to keep it for months in the cuboard just fine. But you could store it in small jars, and have lots spare in a cuboard?

Yuck, sausages... I guess those would go well with picolax.
Edit: They didn't have any picolax entertainment at my sister's wedding in France.

Interesting. Apparently the tradition comes all the way from ancient Rome.

Well, that's what you seemed to be saying: "It's like the fava bean on a King Cake. The guy who gets the Picolax slice provides entertainment for the whole family." So what's all this obsession with picolax?
Originally posted by NordlysYes, fair enough. There are small jars I've seen in the shops but they're usually the same price as the bigger jars. i've made jam before, usually becasue my mum's black currents have had such a good crop that there's too many to eat fresh. I've thought of another way to eat jam; steamed pudding it's my mum's recipe so I don't expect there's one on line, but it's a regular cake (ish) with jam at the bottome of the mix and put in a plastic tub and boiled for anout an hour and when you turn it out the jam runs down the outside. But it's not for everyone becasue it's very filling expically with custard.
