#frog jam

Contrary to popular belief he’s not actually made of frogs, it stands for fig raspberry orange ginger or something like that… anyway he’s a herpetologist hoping to study the amphibians on jam island

When a car stops in Yellowstone, other people will inevitably slow down to see what’s going on. Such was the case one sunny morning in Yellowstone’s Mary Bay.

We had stopped this morning to give me an opportunity to go for a walk in a small pond of water in order to look for a very small, very specific amphibian.

A few weeks earlier, while Jill and I were readying for our trip, our friend Judy…

A Camembert Sandwich with bacon, and F.R.O.G. jam (a jam with figs, raspberries, orange, and ginger).  This easy recipe tastes decadent and gourmet.

F.R.O.G. jam.  It makes you giggle doesn't it?  And then ask, what the the heck is it?  It is a delicious, sweet and tangy jam made from figs, raspberries, orange and ginger.  My husband loves it and has it with every bacon, egg, and toast meal.

When I was trying to decide what to do with the Camembert cheese that we picked up in the clearance bin at our local grocery store, I kept running across grilled cheese recipes with ham and cranberry sauce.  So I looked through the fridge to see what I had and came up with this variation using English muffins, Camembert, bacon, and, you guessed it, F.R.O.G. jam.

I didn't think my husband would go for the mixtures of cheese, meat, and jam, but he loved it--and so did I.  Next time we get some Camembert on the cheap, I'll be making these again.

 Pair this with an astringent tea, for example a first flush Darjeeling or a green Nilgiri.
