Best Pantry Ingredients For Baking
Raspberry Jam has to be not only my favourite jam flavour, but favourite go-to for adding a little something extra to my baked goods. It works well sandwiched between sponge layers, but is also so good baked inside your goodies too. A truly versatile ingredient and flavour, it also pairs beautifully with desiccated coconut. That too can be added onto or inside your bake. So two truly amazing store cupboard ingredients, that can make a plain bake into something very special.
Making your own jam is easy enough, and the higher the pectin (the gelatine or setting agent if you like), naturally found in the particular fruit you choose, the easier it will set, without the need for other setting agents. So bear that in mind when making jam.
There are lots of good articles on the internet on which fruits are best, but in general, lemons and tart apples are high on the list and if you even add some of these into another fruit with lower pectin, that will give it a boost. Go to my plum & orange jam recipe.
Coconut is also a wonderful baking ingredient. A staple for me, and is called desiccated coconut here in the UK. The equivalent is shredded unsweetened coconut in the US. But our desiccated coconut is a little finer, & you can blitz a little if you want but not always necessary.
Now onto the recipes for some lovely bakes and no-bakes, using coconut and/or, raspberry jam.
