LOLA'S GARDEN JAM: ONE FRENCH RECIPE WITH JAM: LE GATEAU ROULE

I discovered many years ago a difference between Western countries and Asia: the breakfast. Here in the Philippines, it is one more time during the day the occasion to eat rice with fish or meat. In France bread, butter and jam is the rule. In England, the jam is often orange marmelade and you can have and idea of the english breakfast with our Pomelo orange jam of which sweet bitterness, wakes up the taste bud. Spread it on on a toasted slice of bread with or without butter and enjoy your breakfast!
According to dietician, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It must bring liquid (orange juice, tea or coffee), vitamins (fruits), fibres (corn flakes) fast sugar to have immediately energy (jam) and slow sugar to not sleep at school or office at 11 am (bread or rice).

You know, jam is not only a gift for Xmas but also for birthday or when you visit a friend. It is a pleasure and a source of energy and vitamins for every day, at breakfast, when the kids come back from school, like chutney for sauce, with meat and fish or for cooking. I give you here an easy recipe we do very often, in a few minutes, at home.

The "gâteau roulé" (Cake rolls) is a very simple and delightful recipe. You need:

- 100 g of cake flour,
- 175 g of white sugar,
- 3 eggs,
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) rhum.

Mix the yolks with sugar until white colour and make a ribbon. Add the flour.
Whip the white until foamy. Mix with care to the first mixing and add the rhum.
Cover the large plate of the oven with aluminium foil. Butter it lightly.
Spread the mixing.
Cook 10 minutes at 140°C. Don't over bake or it will be difficult to roll!
After removing the cake from the oven, cover it rapidly with your favorite jam and roll the cake. Let cool.

"Bon appétit!"

The question of the week:

- Can I repack the bottle of jam?
Sorry, the answer is no. Because the jam is poured boiling in the jar that there is no contamination. When it is cold, the jam can be contaminated by micro-organisms and all your repacking bottle have big chance to be rapidly mouldy. If you heat again to repack without risk of contamination, the structure of the jam will be destroyed. Better to order the jam you like! Each bottle is 130 P only.

For the coming week, we have 4 natural fruit jam (no chemical) in limited stock:
