Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream the cream cheese, butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Separate 1 of the eggs; set aside the egg white for later use. Add the yolk, the second whole egg and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture; mix well. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the flour to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well blended after each addition. Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Wrap each in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
- 2. Roll each piece into a 12 x 1-inch log; place 2 inches apart on a large ungreased (or parchment lined) baking sheet. Use the handle of a wooden spoon or your fingers to make a depression down the length of each log, about 1/2 inch wide and 1/2 inch deep. Beat the reserved egg white with a fork; brush over the dough. Microwave the preserves or jam for a few seconds to slightly liquefy. Fill the depressions with the preserves, using about 3 tablespoons in each log. Sprinkle with the walnuts.
- 3. Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Transfer to wire racks; cool slightly. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Cut each log into 12 diagonal slices.

EASY STRAWBERRY JAM
Modified from a recipe in Good Housekeeping June, 2009. I used the no-sugar Sure-Jell for the pectin and it set up well. Over-ripe berries work best. Less sugar than regular jam.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, sweet strawberries. This will ensure that your jam has the best flavor.
- Use a large pot. The jam will expand as it cooks, so you need a pot that is large enough to accommodate it.
- Stir the jam constantly. This will help to prevent it from burning and sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Cook the jam until it reaches a thick consistency. This will typically take about 20-30 minutes.
- Test the jam for doneness by placing a small amount on a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is done.
- Let the jam cool completely before storing it. This will help to prevent it from spoiling.
Conclusion:
Strawberry jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, waffles, pancakes, or even ice cream. It is also a great way to use up fresh strawberries that are in season. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious strawberry jam at home.
