My friend Amy made strawberry jam. Jam is not something that we usually have in our pantry. Maybe because I’ve never been a fan, but also because I just can’t get over the amount of sugar in it! But this was homemade, with love, and of course everyone DEVOURED it!
When my gorgeous Miss M wanted to make cookies I thought we’d have a play with the jam and of course Jam Drops came to mind. There’s a fair bit of sugar in these – I’ll experiment with cutting it down more next time.
But for now – YUM! And such a fun thing for kids to have a go at. Lucky I’m not OCD … she made quite the mess.

- Cream coconut sugar with the softened butter for two minutes. Then I added vanilla and egg and keep beating.
- Once combined nicely add spelt flour, bicarb and lemon juice.
- Once a nice mixture (add a bit more flour if too sticky) put teaspoon full balls on the baking tray, my little girl stuck her finger in the middle and then added a dollop of Amy’s homemade strawberry jam.
- Pop in oven for twelve minutes at 160 degrees.
