Orange jam is a familiar part of the Turkish breakfast spread, where it sits next to honey, cheeses, olives, eggs and fresh bread. Spread it on toast or simit with a little butter or clotted cream (kaymak), spoon it onto plain yoghurt or rice pudding, or use it as the filling for thumbprint biscuits, tarts and sponge cakes. A small spoonful also works as a glaze for roast poultry or in sweet-and-sour sauces.
Store the unopened jar in a cool, dry place. As with most jams, keep the jar closed and in the fridge after opening and use a clean spoon each time; follow the storage and best-before instructions printed on the pack.
