After a week of sandwich making we thought we'd check in with Pinterest and see what other bloggers are doing with the jam sandwich trend. We've gathered a few of our favorites to share. Don't forget to browse our Jams, Preserves & Marmalades to gather your flavor inspirations!
Summer Sandwhich Combos Part 3 - Turkey & Sharp Cheddar with Mixed Berry Spread
Roasted turkey with cranberry dressing is a fall favorite. Our turkey sandwich with mixed berry fruit spread combines the flavors of a turkey dinner with casual ease of a summer sandwich. While digging around in the fridge for that one final ingredient, we came across a jar of pickled okra and figured why not try it. It was an unexpected twist, but made for perhaps one of our favorite flavor combinations while working on this series of sandwiches. Get out the gourmet jams and get creative!

- Sarabeth’s Mixed Berry Spreadable Fruit

- Carved or deli roasted turkey breast
- Pickled okra thinly sliced (or any vinegary pickle)
- Slice bread to desired thickness and toast for a sturdier sandwich. We grilled our in a grill pan with a brush of olive oil.

- Top with pickled okra sliced lengthwise.
- Top with an additional slice of bread or serve open faced.
Recipe: Freshly Squeezed Rosemary Lemonade
Last week, we shared a rosemary lemon drop cocktail. It's so very refreshing, but for those days when imbibing isn't on the menu, we concocted a non-alcoholic version. The display is as impressive as the flavor, so be sure to use a glass pitcher to show off the fresh ingredients!
Freshly Squeezed Rosemary Lemonade
- Juice of 10 lemons
- 6 oz. Liber & Co. Gum Syrup
- 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 1 cup water (plus or minus depending on how sweet or tart you like your lemonade)
Allow the rosemary to sit in a glass or bowl with the Liber syrup for a few hours to infuse. Combine all ingredients in large mason jar or pitcher (including rosemary sprigs) and shake to combine. Chill and serve over ice. Can be refrigerated for an additional day or two after initial serving.
Summer Sandwhich Combos Part 2 - Apple & Brie Sandwiches with Strawberry, Raspberry Fruit Spread
Made with sliced green apples and mild brie cheese, this strawberry/raspberry jam sandwich combo could really be served for breakfast or lunch. Presented on toasted rounds of thinly sliced baguette, these ingredients could make a lovely crostini for serving with wine in the evening. Be sure to rub cut sides of your apple slices with a sliced lemon if you aren't serving immediately, so the apples don't brown.

Foodie Tutorial: How to Wrap a Sandwich
If you're making a sandwich worth bragging about, don't ruin it by storing it in a ziploc bag! Elevate lunchtime by wrapping sandwiches in parchment. When opened, the parchment becomes your personal placemat.
