These are made with homemade raspberry jam, which makes them extra special, but any high-quality jam will be almost as delicious. They are wonderful warm from the oven, but be sure to let them cool for fifteen minutes so you don’t burn your mouth on the hot jam. The flavor is best when they’ve cooled completely.
