Chef Gail Sokol is back to teach us about baking with jam. Call in and join the conversation. 800-348-2551. Ray Graf hosts.

Jams and preserves are essential to many baked goods, as a filling or topping. Using jam is an easy way to make a fruity dessert quickly. Think of thumbprint cookies, jam bars with streusel on top, and the famous Linzer torte, Sacher torte and the English Bakewell tart!
