Notes

Recipe Notes

  • Use any jam you love — homemade or store-bought.
  • For a richer twist, spread a thin layer of cream cheese under the jam before folding.
  • The dough can be made ahead: refrigerate for 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
  • Swap fillings seasonally: fig jam in fall, cranberry jam for holidays, peach in summer.
