Bonnie's Recipes
We love to use Bonnie’s Jams in so many of our favorite recipes. The luscious fruit flavors of our jams shine as a signature ingredient in everything from cocktails or mocktails, glazes and sauces, dolloped as a topping for crepes and pancakes, and of course, used as the starring accoutrement on your next cheese and charcuterie board!
Tangy Red Pepper Glazed Chicken
This Tangy Red Pepper Glazed Chicken is a perfect balance of sweet heat and savory depth. Bonnie’s Jams Red Pepper Jelly combines with soy sauce, garlic, and fresh ginger to create a bold marinade that infuses juicy, crispy-skinned chicken thighs with rich flavor. Finished with a glossy glaze, this dish pairs beautifully with rice and fresh greens for an easy yet standout meal.
Raspberry Lime Rickey
This Raspberry Lime Rickey cocktail is bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with a touch of sweetness and citrus zing. Bonnie’s Jams Raspberry Lime Rickey preserves blend beautifully with fresh lime juice and zest to create a vibrant syrup, shaken with vodka for a crisp kick. Topped with sparkling water or champagne, this effervescent drink is a light and lively choice for warm days or festive gatherings.
Red Pepper Jelly Bloody Mary
This Bloody Mary gets a flavorful twist with the addition of red pepper jelly, bringing a subtle sweetness that balances the savory, spicy mix. Bright citrus, a hint of heat, and classic garnishes make it a refreshing and distinctive cocktail. Perfect for brunch or a leisurely weekend gathering.
Linzer Cookies
I love filling cookies with my jam. These cookies are particularly good for this treatment since the dough is just slightly sweet. The recipe calls for grinding nuts and mixing butter and sugar, filling the kitchen with sublime fragrances.
Puff Pastry Jam Sticks
These super-simple jam sticks are so easy, and delicious. They are perfect for entertaining or to dunk into coffee or tea. Wrap a few in cellophane for an easy gift. They are perfect for small family holiday gatherings – simple but a little something special that turns dessert into a party.
Cranberry Orange Smoothie
Smoothies are such a constant in our house that I have forgotten to add this morning favorite to my list of recipes. Here it is made with our holiday cranberry jams but feel free to use any of our other flavors switching out the cranberries for another berry or stone fruit of the season.
