Saturday Sewing and Such in the Scrapatch

I made this Peach Jam Coffee Cake yesterday 

while the weather was a little cooler.

It is forecast to turn very warm again in a few days.

In New England, the weather can change quickly and frequently.

I started with this recipe for

Super Crumb Coffee Cake

and I added a little nutmeg and mace to enhance the flavor of the jam.
This recipe makes a thick batter to hold the jam on top while it bakes. 

I spooned large dollops of this thick jam in a rind midway around the edges 

  and added a big spoonful in the center.

Any flavor or type of jam will work.
If your jam is runny, you may wish to drain it a little
to thicken it so it will stay on top
while baking.

The recipe also works well with fresh berries.

The Special Peach Jam is a favorite from

Carlson Orchards in Harvard, MA

It is yummy with my morning coffee.

I am sewing Block 2 of the Jelly Snowflake QAL

For slowly stitching outside, I have dug out this old WIP.

For years I have been embroidering free form leaves onto this

Autumn Leaves Quilt

Maybe I will actually finish the hand work this year.

Maybe not.

Time will tell.

May you and yours have a happy and safe weekend.
