I have overboiled the damson jam this year.  Probably being too diligent about removing the stones while it was boiling.
It is so firm I can barely get it out of the jars! What can I do with it?
Please be kind

I've never had any but how about damson tarts?  As the jam is thick it should cook really nicely and not boil over the sides of your pastry.  I don't know how they would taste.

What about an apple cumble with some of your jam under the crumble bit?  :happy: I don't know what the consistency would be like but it's better than not using it.

Turn it into hardboiled sweets

Just done a search - this site should give you some ideas - 'pulling candy' looks like fun:

re boil a bit at a time with a little alcohol and make into a sauce for crumbles/ice cream etc.

thank you all - I diluted some and 'melted it down' this morning and whisked it into Greek yoghurt for a delicious breakfast. Crumble this evening!

If it's really firm you could chop it into cubes and roll it in  icing sugar?
