Jam
Used in 2 recipes on RecipeWiki.
Jam here means any fruit jam spooned on at the table, and this page also covers the jam-or-honey choice some recipes offer. A good jam tastes of the fruit first, with enough sharpness to cut its sugar; a soft set suits spooning better than a stiff jelly. In Russian breakfasts it is the classic topping: a spoonful dropped into a bowl of Semolina Kasha, or served alongside hot Syrniki. Sharper jams such as blackcurrant, cherry or apricot balance the sweet richness of these dishes best. Refrigerate an opened jar and use a clean spoon each time to keep mould away.
