Do not throw candied, fermented, or simply bored jam - it is perfect for baking gingerbread, muffins, or cookies. Jam will give the dough a pleasant rich taste - raspberry, cherry, strawberry or sea buckthorn. By varying the varieties of homemade blanks, you can try different baking options.

Homemade haircut
Try making an original haircut with a pleasant honey taste. You don’t need honey for baking - use fermented jam from any berries or fruits. The finished product can be decorated with glaze, cream or sprinkled with powdered sugar.
You will need:
- 0.5 cups of strongly brewed black tea;
- 0.5 cup fermented jam;
- 1 egg;
- 0.5 cups of sugar;
- soda on the tip of a knife;
- 0.5 teaspoon of lemon juice;
- 2 cups of wheat flour;
- 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.
Brew strong tea, cool it, and then mix with jam, sugar and egg. Whisk well and add soda, slaked with lemon juice. Combine the sifted wheat flour with ground cinnamon and add it in portions to a mixture of jam and tea. Mix well. For convenience, you can use a blender.
Cover the pan with greaseproof parchment paper. Gently pour the dough onto a baking sheet and place it in the oven, preheated to 180 ° C. Bake the gingerbread until cooked. It can be checked by sticking a toothpick into the cake - there should not be traces of dough on it. Put the gingerbread on the board, cool and cut into small pieces. The surface can be sprinkled with powdered sugar.
The color of baking depends on the type of jam. If you use blanks of currant or chokeberry, the dough will be dark. From sea buckthorn or rhubarb, you can make a light mare.
Lazy cake
From the old candied jam, you can bake a simple pie with sour cream.
You will need:
- 1.5 cups of jam;
- 1 egg;
- 1 glass of milk;
- 1 cup of sugar;
- 2 teaspoons of soda;
- 3 cups of wheat flour.
For cream:
- 1 cup thick sour cream:
- 0.75 cups of sugar.
You can add candied fruit or finely grated lemon zest to the dough.
Pour the jam into a deep bowl, add soda and mix until the mixture begins to foam. Beat the egg with sugar, then add it to the jam and pour in the milk. Whip until smooth. Pour the sifted wheat flour into the mixture in portions.
Lubricate the mold with oil and pour the dough into it. Place the pie in the oven, preheated to 200 ° C. Bake the product until cooked. While making the pie, make a cream. Beat thick sour cream with sugar until crystals are completely dissolved.
Remove the cake from the mold and cool. Cover its surface with sour cream, let the dessert stand for a while, and then cut it into portions.
