Ideas with raspberry "sauce"?

[alexsam]

We've been making jam, however the raspberry batch didn't set right (any ideas why? All the others were fine... Is there something about raspberries?). Anyway, there is nothing "wrong", per se, with it being drippy except that it is not jam . So, it is like a sweet raspberry "sauce". And I've got 9 jars of it!

So what can I do with it? I was thinking ice-cream topping. Maybe spread on a baking chicken or fish? Any other ideas?

put it in oatmeal, pair with chicken, lamb, fish, using for an ice cream topping is a good idea, too!

I always put raspberry coulis on top of hot brownies. SO GOOD!!!

Any wild game does really well with a berry sauce.

Mix chopped apples and make a berry apple crisp.

On top of pancakes/waffles.

a filling layer for cakes. (yum!)

Mixed with creamcheese for fruit dip, mixed with greek yogurt, mixed with icing to ice cupcakes.

Pair it w/ Goat Cheese or a bar of cream cheese and crackers, fig, blood oranges....

If you used conventional pectin, that requires a precise balance of sugar/acid/pectin in order to gel, so something was off. You can always reboil it with some Pomona's Universal Pectin. Use the gel test to be sure it's set and recan it.

Or you can just re-label it raspberry syrup. Great on ice cream, custard, cheesecake, french toast, waffles, pancakes, etc. Also would go beautifully with most meats.

Put it in the blender with some plain unsweetened yogurt. Easy yogurt smoothie! I've had that happen before; one whole batch of my strawberry jam this year just didn't set, even though I did nothing different with that batch from any other batch I've ever made. I think there's a supernatural kinda element to jam-making! You gotta knock on wood and stir it exactly the right number of times clockwise or something-- Anyway, we'll use it for smoothies.

It will probably taste great on pancakes!

And if you put them in little containers, or in a popsicle mold and stick them in the freezer you'll get frozen raspberry yogurt pops -- yum!
