Make a good old fashioned jam tart. with pastry and jam. delicious for the winter. use it up in casseroles - add a teaspoon of sweetness to the savory. Poach some fruit and add a little to the poaching liquid.

Try adding some of your jam to some sliced/chopped tart apples and use it as a pie filling.

Do you know it freezes very well and when frozen you are able to easily scoop some out.

Well, if made properly, it keeps. And you probably won't have the fruit to make any more til next summer. But just off the top of my head, and in no particular order. You can use it as an ingredient in baking, in puddings, in marinades for meat, as a filling in tarts, to add flavor to stewed fruit, to stick biscuits together - all dependent, of course, on matching flavours Old jam can be made into fruit sauces, leathers, etc. A spoonful in a curry lifts the flavor. Tray bakes which include jam include Alison Holst's cherry slice, louise cake, albert squares. there are loads of them out there. Sieve a small amount and add some brandy to make a decadent icecream sauce or pancake topping. You are limited only by your imagination.

Apricot jam is great to replace honey or brown sugar when making toasted muesli - melt with a bit of water, and stir in all ingredients. Toast in the oven. I always use left over jam this way. ( we aren't big jam eaters, so often after having visitors there is part of a jar needs to be used.)

This. I am still using jam and jellies I made way back in 2009 and they are as good as new.

How do you make cider out of jam?

I am at a bit of a loss as to what "Excess jam" is?
If you made jam to the age old recipe of 1kg of fruit to 1kg of sugar you can keep it for decades. The only thing that goes off up here in the relentless humidity is the lids of the jars LOL
Of course if you made jam to a "modern recipe" with agar agar or other thickeners to reduce sugar content then you might have to freeze it to help it not going off.
In that case you can fill pancakes with it (the old rolling up way) or make cakes or biscuits etc with it. Depending on what jam it is you can use it for cooking with meat too.

Usually I am good at figuring stuff out but it was not till I read this small comment that I understood why some of my lids are showing signs of surface rust and are less pristine than when I first stored them, while the insides are still unblemished. Must keep an eye on them.
