Cabernet Jam

Cheeses:

• Strong, aged cheeses: Think cheddar, Gruyère, or even a blue cheese like Stilton. The jam's sweetness and fruitiness will cut through the richness of the cheese.
• Soft cheeses with bloomy rinds: Brie or Camembert pairs lovely with wine jam.

Breads and Pastries:

• Crusty bread: A simple slice of baguette or sourdough is a perfect vehicle for wine jam.
• Scones or biscuits: The jam would add a touch of luxury to afternoon tea.
• Croissants: The buttery flakiness of a croissant is a delicious contrast to the jam's intensity.

Other uses:

• Glaze for meats: Use wine jam as a glaze for roasted chicken, duck, or pork. The wine's acidity will help to tenderize the meat and add a depth of flavor.
• Filling for pastries: Use the jam as a filling for tarts, pies, or even thumbprint cookies.
• Accompaniment to charcuterie: The jam's sweetness and fruitiness will complement the saltiness of cured meats like prosciutto or salami.
• Ice cream topping: A dollop of red wine jam would be delicious on vanilla or chocolate ice cream.
