JAM SLICE

A very easy slice to make that gives huge rewards! I get many comments on this recipe and it usually disappears very quickly whenever i take it anywhere, plus it's fairly economical as well, using ingredients that are usually lying in the cupboard or fridge anyway. You can use what ever jam you happen to have on hand, you could even substitute in some marmalade or even a nice lemon or lime butter...the possibilities are endless! If you don't have shredded coconut, using all desiccated coconut is more than fine.

Time 1h

Yield 15-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups plain flour
100 g butter
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons water, approximately
250 g jam (any kind, i.e.strawberry, apricot, raspberry, etc)
2 cups coconut (1 1/2 desiccated coconut, 1/2 shredded coconut)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup caster sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 190°C.
  • To make the pastry, sift the flour into a medium bowl. Rub the butter into the flour with fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs (this could also be done in a food processor).
  • Add egg yolk to the flour mixture and enough water so that the ingredients can be pressed together to form a firm dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth.
  • Roll the dough into a rectangle large enough to cover the base of a slice tin (about 20x30cm). Place the dough into a lined slice tin and bake for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to stand for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 180°C.
  • Spread the jam evenly over the pastry base.
  • Combine the coconut, eggs and sugar in a medium bowl and mix with a fork until all the coconut is moist.
  • Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the jam (do not flatten mixture). Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Allow the slice to cool in the pan before cutting into slices.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your jam slice will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, rubbery texture. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the jam slice until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the jam slice is cooked through.
  • Let the jam slice cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the jam slice from falling apart.
  • Serve the jam slice with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include butter, cream cheese, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Jam slice is a classic dessert that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, it's a perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a sweet snack or a dessert to serve at your next party, jam slice is sure to be a hit. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, give this recipe a try.
