What to do with jelly or jam
• Put on toast or biscuits, or serve with Monte Cristo sandwiches.
• Make a Monte Cristo sandwich: Make 2 pieces of French toast by beating together 2 eggs and 1/3 cup of milk. Soak bread, and then cook in butter until golden on both sides. Top 2 of the slices with sliced turkey and Swiss cheese. Stack the 2 slices one on top of the other and top with the third piece of French toast. Toast on both sides until the cheese melts and the turkey is heated through. Serve with jelly or jam.
• Make sugar cookies (page 69).
