Notes

Cooking Tips:
  • Jam Variations: Try different jams like cherry, blackberry, or even pepper jelly for a sweet and spicy twist.
  • Nut Alternatives: Swap out walnuts for almonds, and pistachios, or skip the nuts if you prefer a smoother texture.
  • Extra Flavor: Add a sprinkle of fresh thyme or rosemary for an earthy aroma.
