Vegan Scone Recipe with Strawberry Jam
After being stuck in the house because of the bad weather, Paul decided to make some lovely light and fluffy vegan scones, and we topped them with some vitalite and some Streamline Strawberry Jam. Heaven with a pot of tea.
Streamline Strawberry Jam
The jam is lovely, it has a very nice strawberry jam flavour but with a reduced sugar content. There is plenty of fruit in the jam and it tastes great. Perfect on these scones.
Each 400gram jar of jam is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Per 100grams is 174kcal. 30% less sugar. Sold in supermarkets.

Serve warm or cold.
Hi
Sorry, only just realised there was a response!
It’s the Seedless Raspberry Jam that is the issue (not normal raspberry jam), the Streamline site and Tesco both list it as containing Cochineal:
Hi Chris,
I have checked today 2nd april 2013 strawberry and raspberry flavours in the supermarket and they are labelled suitable for vegans and there is no cochineal in the ingredients list. So are OK for vegans.
I hope this helps

Hi Chris, I will watch out for that, thank you for the heads up. It was not in this one when I reviewed it, but I will check others when I next go to a supermarket.
Take Care
Maggie
Its worth being very careful with Streamline Jam, they sometimes slip cochineal in
