We love to bake.
Here is a recipe Dual Rivet wants to share with you!
Until the next recipe!
Jammy Dodgers w/ Blueberry Lemon Basil Jam
Ingredients:
Shortbread
2 cups butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
Blueberry Lemon Basil Jam
5 cups blueberries
5 oz lemon juice
2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons pectin
Handful of basil
Instructions:
Shortbread
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Stir in vanilla; add flour and mix well.
Roll out dough, use cookie cutters to cut of the dough into circles.
Take half of those circles and cut out a smaller hole in the middle for the jam to live in (cut-out-cookie). These eventually become little sandwiches so make sure there are an equal number of bottom cookies as there are cut-out-cookies.
Place all cookies flat on baking tray. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes. Let cool before assembling.
Jam
Boil everything but the basil and pectin for 15 min on low in a big pot.
Add pectin, boil for 5 more minutes. Stir constantly.
Add basil, take off of heat, and emulsify immediately
Can the jam (if you’d like), seal the lids and flip upside down for a few hours (so the lids seal).
(Makes 4 pints)
Assemble
Place a dollop of jam in the center of a bottom cookie.
Spread Jam slightly before placing a cut-out-cookie on top.
ENJOY!!
Love, Jess and Chelsea
