Any berry will work in old bachelor's jam. The layered fruit spread is ripe for experimentation. Here it's made with blackberries, raspberries, and kirsch and spread on the cornmeal crust of a blackberry tart.

PRESIDENT ANDREW JACKSON'S FAVORITE BLACKBERRY JAM CAKE
This delish cake is full of fruity goodness that everyone who tries it loves. Just a warning: the cake tends to be unbelievably thick, thus making the 1/16 serving size more reasonable! Frost with cream cheese frosting.

- When baking the pastry, prick the bottom with a fork to prevent it from puffing up.
- For the jam, use ripe blackberries and cook them until they are thick and syrupy.
- When assembling the tart, spread the jam evenly over the bottom of the pastry and then top with the blackberry halves.
- Bake the tart until the pastry is golden brown and the blackberries are bubbling.
- Let the tart cool slightly before serving.
