I told my daughter that I was going to mix buttercream icing with strawberry jam for a filling for a cake tomorrow. My middle daughter loved the idea, but my oldest daughter doesn't like strawberry jam, she likes Saskatoon jam. Do you think that buttercream icing and saskatoon jam would be good together? hmm... now that I think about it, if I can do strawberry jam, why couldn't I do saskatoon jam? Maybe because of the seeds? Any ideas, or helpful hints would be great!! Thanks

Try and find one that is seedless and it should be okay. I use strawberry jam all the time mixed with buttercream as a filling. What is Saskatoon? I've never heard of it.

A Saskatoon berry is similar to a blueberry, only a little smaller and maybe a little seedier. We have a dozen saskatoon bushes on our property. My daughter absolutely loves them.

this is a saskatoon berry.......I've never heard of it either........IMO I don't care for seeds in the jam when used for a filling.

If you can't find seedless jam, just warm the jam up in a saucepan ( you may need to add some simple syrup depending on how thick it is) . Then pour the jam through a fine mesh strainer.

The seeds were the only thing that I was worried about. I like the idea of heating it up and then putting it through the mesh strainer. Thanks for your help!!! icon_razz.gificon_razz.gif

Not that it means much...but my brother, sister-in-law and their kids live in Saskatoon.
I just made the buttercream icing and mixed in some saskatoon (that went through the mesh strainer) jam. One word - YUMMY!!!!!! The only thing just as yummy....the buttercream icing and strawberry jam (didn't strain, because it didn't many seeds). Oh my lord!! HEAVEN!!!
As of right now, I have have one pink and one purple cake on my table. For some reason I don't think they will make it to the school tomorrow. icon_lol.gif
