about the only jam that didn't turn out well was orange marmalade
Thank you, I have been trying to pull that name out of my memory banks every since I first read this thread about two days ago. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We were not that fond of grape in these (and I didn't know they were called matrimonials - we just call them fruit bars, thanks for the knowledge). Cherry jam is a big hit in this recipe.
There are numerous recipes for different types of filled cookies that use jam/jelly. One of my favorites is a cream cheese based cookie dough that I then fill with almond paste and raspberry jam. Another good option is to blend some jam/jelly with plain (unsweetened yogurt) add some mint or lemon balm (optional) and pour over fruit, for a nice fruit salad. Or if you ever make homemade ice cream, swirl some jam into the ice cream as it comes out of the churn and before you harden it in the freezer.
