Give Your Breakfast An Upgrade With These Delicious Jam Recipes

Homemade jam hits differently. That stuff really is delicious. Not to mention, versatile! Whether you're looking to level-up your breakfasts, or fancy making a special batch to gift to your family and friends, homemade jam is one of the best things to make from scratch.

It's a great way of using up any fruit you have lying around, and you can pretty much shove anything in (we're all about experimenting with new flavours).

So, if you feel like putting some time aside and making your very own jam (strawberry, blueberry or even peach) check out our some of our favourite jam recipes now. We just know you'll NEVER go back to shop-bought.

Got a lot of apples and don't know what to do with them? If homemade apple pie seems like too much of an undertaking, this jam is just the thing to prolong those delicious apples. We love it shmeared on toast with peanut butter, but it would also be delicious stirred into yogurt or spread on top of pancakes or waffles.

Whether you're spreading it on toast or swirling it into your hot porridge, this jam is sure to give your breakfast a major upgrade.

It might sound a little crazy, but lime and vanilla perfectly compliment the super sweet flavour of the blueberries. Not a fan of lime? Try lemon or orange instead! Blueberries + citrus are flavour besties. Of course this jam is delicious on toast, especially on a slice of homemade sourdough.

Cherry season is always too short, so we love preserving them a little longer with this jam. Almond + cherry flavour is a classic, which is why we like adding a splash of amaretto liqueur for a hint of almond flavour.

Peach season >>> every other season, in our opinion. In order to extend the joy that is sweet, juicy, peaches, we love making this jam. Sealed and stored properly, it can last well into the cold months when all you need is a spoonful of sunshine.

When it's peak summer, and plums are ripe and juicy, we love making this ultra simple jam. Amazing on toast, swirled into yogurt, or atop a bowl of porridge, its bright flavour improves pretty much anything it touches. We can't get enough of it.

This easy raspberry jam is as delicious stirred into yogurt as it is slathered on a slice of homemade bread. Kept sealed tight and refrigerated, it'll last up to two weeks.

Rhubarb season comes and goes in the blink of the eye. In theory, it's in season from April to June, but depending on where you are, it can be much shorter. Moral of the story: When you see rhubarb, BUY IT. Then immediately make this jam.

You deserve a good homemade jam, and this is the perfect one. It keeps for about 2 weeks in the fridge and goes great in yogurt or on muffins, too!
