Strawberry Balsamic Peppercorn Shortcake

Our Strawberry Balsamic jam looks and tastes beautiful on fluffy biscuits with vanilla bean ice cream.  While this is typically dessert, we do advocate dessert for breakfast (or a snack, lunch, dinner or second dinner).

Recipe for biscuits at Smitten Kitchen 

1 jar Slow Jam's Strawberry Balsamic Peppercorn jam

1 pint of your favorite vanilla ice cream (we wouldn’t hold it against you if you chose another flavor)

Whipped cream and fresh mint for garnish

Cut the biscuits in half and place each bottom half on a plate.  Scoop large scoops of ice cream and place one on each biscuit bottom.  Drizzle strawberry balsamic peppercorn jam on each ice cream scoop and cover with the top biscuit.  Garnish with whipped cream, more jam and mint if desired.  Serve immediately.      

Peach Jamshakes



Slow Jams are fantastic in milkshakes.  We used traditional Peach in this recipe but you can use whatever flavor floats your boat.  For a nice presentation, we placed in the shakes smaller glasses to make mini milkshakes – friendly on the eyes and the waistline.

1 cup ice cream

1 cup Slow Jam's Peach jam

Whipped cream and extra jam for garnish
