Jam crumble with whipped cream

Use lingering jars of home-made jam on your pantry shelves to whip up quick, delicious crumbles for dessert.

Sometimes owing to a windfall of fruit,  you end up with more jars of jam of something than you really need. Or, your household falls out of the habit of using jam on their breakfast toast for a while, and jars sit gathering dust and aging.

You can quickly turn those jars into a homemade crumble for dessert.

This recipe uses:

  • Home-canned jam
  • Oatmeal pancake DIY mix

Jam crumble ingredients

Recipe notes

It’s nice to combine two different flavours of jam, putting one on top the other for layers of flavours.

Yes, instead of 2 x half-pint (250 ml) jars, you can use a 1 pint (500 ml) jar of jam.

Alternative crumble topping

If you don’t have the oatmeal pancake mix to head, then make one from the following:

½ cup oats

2 tbsp flour

1 tbsp sugar

pinch of salt

Combine, then rub with 2 tablespoons of butter.

Or, use a crumble topping of your choice!

Crumble topping hints

However you have made up your crumble topping, you may wish to add a bit more sweetener of your choice, a bit more butter, and perhaps pinches of nutmeg and / or cinnamon.

It can be handy to triple or quadruple a batch of crumble, using just what you need for now, and storing the rest in a sealed container in the freezer to make desserts even faster.

Nutrition

As this is really a concept rather than a recipe, nutrition will vary wildly. Low-sugar or sugar-free jams can make this a super Weight Watchers™ friendly dessert.

Quote of the day

“THE preservation of fruits and vegetables by canning is now an exact and known science. Our grandmothers, and even our mothers, were content to lose entirely many quarts of fruit each year; and they were never surprised to find a layer of mold on top of each jar. Science has made wonderful advances, however, and in these days any woman can preserve fruit and vegetables without the loss of a single jar or a trace of mold.”
