ANY Flavor Sweet Rolls

Stonewall Kitchen’s Jams are rich and delicious and they make fantastic sweet rolls!  Try it with Wild Maine Blueberry Jam!

Ingredients: 

• Any Flavor of Stonewall Kitchen Jam – use full jar, reserving 2 teaspoons for icing
• 1 - 16 oz frozen prepared white bread dough (Ex. Rhodes Bake N Serv)

Icing:

• 1/4 cup milk
• 1-1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons SK Jam

Directions:

Thaw and prepare bread dough as stated on packaging. (This can take several hours to thaw and rise). Preheat oven to 350°F. Once the bread has proofed, roll out with a rolling pin and spread the prepared jam onto the rolled out dough. Roll into a log. Cut 1 inch slices from the log and place those pieces, flat side down, into an 8 x 8 x 2-inch greased baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool and drizzle with icing. Makes 9-12 rolls.
Icing Directions:
Mix 1/4 cup milk, 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar, and 2 teaspoons together until sugar is dissolved and smooth.

2 ounces rye or bourbon

1 ounce lime juice

1 egg white

½ ounce blueberry syrup, such as Cooper’s Mill

1 teaspoon purchased Blueberry jam

3-4 ice cubs

3 drops Angostura bitters

Combine the rye, lime juice, egg white, and jam in a cocktail shaker and vigorously shake for a few seconds.  Add the ice and shake again to cool the ingredients, and strain into a couple of cocktail glasses. Top with the bitters.

Small Batch Easy Refrigerator Blueberry Jam

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

¾ cup sugar

2 teaspoons lemon juice

Pinch of ground cinnamon

Combine 1 cup of the blueberries, the sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the berries are bubbling and have begun to soften, 5 to 8 minutes, then add the remaining 1 cup blueberries. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking until all the berries are soft and a spoon leaves a line of separation in the jam when scraping the bottom of the pan, about 25 minutes.  Cool and fill clean glass jars or freezer-safe containers.  Jam keeps in refrigerator 3-4 weeks, 6 months in the freezer.

Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins

2 cups blueberries, divided

1 ¾ cups plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder

1 ½ teaspoons salt

¾ teaspoons ground nutmeg

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature

1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 cup buttermilk

2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, such as Sugar in the Raw

Heat oven to 425 degrees.  Cut twelve 5-inch parchment paper squares.  Line each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan with 1 parchment square, pressing down with drinking glass to form a cup shape, flattening folds.  Set aside ½ cup blueberries; toss remaining 1 ½ cups blueberries with 2 teaspoons flour.  In medium bowl, whisk together baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and remaining 1 ¾ cups flour.  In large bowl, using electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.  Reduce speed to medium and add whole egg and yolk in 2 additions, beating after each until incorporated before adding next and scraping down bowl as necessary.  Beat in vanilla.  Reduce mixer speed to low and add flour mixture in three parts, alternating with buttermilk and beating just until incorporated, scraping bowl as necessary (do not overmix).  Fold in floured blueberries, leaving behind any excess flour that does not cling to them.  Divide batter among muffin cups (about a heaping 1/3 cup each; cups will seem very full).  Sprinkle turbinado sugar and press remaining ½ cup blueberries into tops of muffins.  Bake on middle rack of oven until wooden pick inserted into center comes out with a few loose crumbs attached, 20-22 minutes.  Let cool in pan 5 minutes; transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Blueberry Crunch

1 package yellow deluxe cake mix

½ cup chopped nuts
