What can I make to use up three jars of strawberry jam - they're not worth giving away because they were my first efforts and are a bit solid. but don't want to waste them either.Any good recipes that would use up a whole lot in one go! :-)

Freeze till needed. Doesn't freeze solid so can be used when needed.

perhaps reboil with a little water to make it softer if you are worred about it being too solid.

Last lot of strawberry jam I made I added a bit of mint.it is so delicious.
When picking the strawberries, which are around my mint.the smells are just so good.so I thought I would give it a go.got 3 large sprigs.popped them in when jam nearly done.stirred them around then took them out.would only have been in pot 30 seconds and that was heaps to impart the mint flavour.

I make muffins with jam instead of milk, or mix with vanilla yogurt for a yummy sweet snack.

Strawberry Jam Muffins.
2 cups flour 2/3 cup caster sugar 2 heaped teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk 1/4 cup oil 1 large egg strawberry jam Cinnamon Extra caster sugar for dusting the muffin tops
Heat oven to 200 deg C. Spray muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray.
Sift flour, baking powder, caster sugar and salt. In another basin beat the egg, oil and milk. Combine with the flour mixture but don't over mix. Use half the mixture to partly fill muffin pans and place a teaspoon of strawberry jam on top. Now top with the rest of the mixture. Mix caster sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top. Bake until golden.
