Jam filled crepes are much more fun than jam on toast.  One of our favorite ways to enjoy any of our jam is as a crepe filling. They are much lighter than chocolate or hazelnut spread crepes. Try it. You will see.

Homemade Crepes (see below for recipe) & Any Jam (we prefer Strawberry, Blueberry, Raspberry or Banana)

Make the crepes from scratch and add 2-3 tablespoons of jam/preserves on top of the open crepe, fold the crepe in half and fold it one more time to make a triangle. That’s It!

These classic thumbprint cookies are made with a simple sugar cookie dough, rolled in sparkling sugar, and then indented and filled with your choice of jam!   These are an all-time favorite cookie recipe, and the filling options are endless!
