Recipes using Jam or Jelly on a budget!

I somehow ended up a with a nice collection of random jams and jellies. These were mostly jars I bought for one recipe and then had a good amount leftover. So, I started playing around with different ways to use these jars up.

This is a collection of recipes, that I created to add a little zing and also use up some jams, jellies, preserves, etc that might be hiding out in your fridge!

Our prices this week are from the Super Walmart in the Maysville, Kentucky. Some products may not be available in your area, but the substitutions should be pretty easy to make.

1. Sausage & Apple Skillet

This is great with a side of fried potatoes or rice!

2. Sweet Jam Pork Chops

You can easily switch out the jam flavor on this one, and it works really well with chicken too!

3. Mustard Apricot Chicken

This is a good one with pork chops as well!

4. Sweet Onion Chicken

You can easily use fresh ginger and fresh rosemary if you have it!

5. Sweet & Spicy Shrimp Skewers

Depending on how much heat that you like, you can leave some seeds in the jalapenos or for a milder version leave them out.

6. Cheddar Bacon Chicken

Oh, my goodness, this one is amazing! We usually serve with a side of rice or a bacon potato!

7. Catalina Chicken

This totally gives off Hawaiian or Tropical vibes. We usually serve with stirfry veggies and rice!

8. Pineapple Sticky Ribs

I love this so much and next time I will be trying this in the crockpot!

Variations & Substitutes

Every family has different tastes, so you can easily switch out ingredients to suit your family. Also don’t feel locked into the flavors, it really doesn’t matter if you use a different jam, does it? Just substitute with what you already have, and it will totally be fine!
