Unique Ways To Use Strawberry Kiwi Jam

How do you use strawberry kiwi jam in your home? Maybe you spread it on toast, or perhaps you use it to make PB&J sandwiches. These are both great uses for jam, but they are far from the only uses. Strawberry kiwi jam, especially, has a sweet and slightly tart flavor that makes it a really delicious and versatile ingredient choice. Here are some more unique ways to use it.

Make Granola

Homemade granola is so much better than store-bought granola, especially when you make it with strawberry kiwi jam. Simply combine 2 cups of rolled oats, 1/2 cup walnut pieces, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, a pinch of salt, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1/2 cup strawberry kiwi jam in a mixing bowl. Stir well, and spread out on a baking sheet. Bake at 250 degrees F for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let cool before you enjoy. Store the granola in a sealed container. You can add some sliced, dried strawberries to the cool granola for an extra fruity touch.

Add it To Smoothies

Do your smoothies ever taste a bit flat and boring? Adding a little strawberry kiwi jam to the smoothie will give it a boost of concentrated, fruity flavor. You can add one to two tablespoons of jam to almost any smoothie recipe. But the smoothie recipe below is also worth trying.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 1/2 a banana
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 2 tablespoons strawberry kiwi jam

Place all of the ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth. If you like your smoothie extra thick and icy, you can add a handful of ice before blending. You can easily double or triple this recipe if you're making smoothies for a group.

Fill Your Muffins

The next time you make muffins, try adding a little scoop of strawberry jam to the center of each one before baking. The easiest way to do this is to first fill your muffin tins a little lower than you usually would. Add a teaspoon of jam to the middle of each one, and then put a little more muffin batter on top. Bake your muffins as you normally would. They have a delicious, jam surprise in the middle.
