Who knew that an accident with a jar of jam could result in such deliciousness? I am giddy with how this turned out and I will definitely be making this again.
A friend gifted me with a jar of homemade jam this past weekend. We were headed to lunch, so I tucked it into the console of the car, planning to take it in the house after lunch.
Well, I forgot to do that and when I remembered, the jam had spent hours enjoying the car’s toasty 115+ degrees. I crossed my fingers and put it in the fridge, but once liquified, jam is liquified forever.
I tasted it and it was fabulous jam, so I knew there would be a use for it. I considered simply using it as a syrup, or pouring it over vanilla ice cream, but then I wondered if I could freeze it into my next batch of ice cream. Why not try?
It turned out so well that I decided to set aside a good bit of my own peach jam this year to use for making ice cream. The small pieces of peaches and rehydrated berries, along with a hint of jam, combined to give this ice cream a unique flavor that we all really enjoyed.

There might be a little bit left, if the boys forget it is in the freezer. 😛 If so, I'll save it for you.

Wow, I actually didn't realize that once jam liquifies, it doesn't turn back… Interesting tidbit and great way to use it!
