I've got to try this, but I want to use fresh Strawberries - I just love the taste so much better than jam. I will heat them up but not fully cook them. And Cream Cheese with Vanilla Chobani Yogurt! Yum! Please find (create) us a Pie or Cheesecake type dessert With Lime Chobani Yogurt and maybe a layer with Vanilla. The lime is addictive! I'm thinking - a crushed pecan/flour/butter crust. Help me out - I've been wanting to create a Pie/Cheesecake with these ingredients for 2 years! You got the Chef Food Science know-how! ✨

[@danpettersson4671]

Since I've done a few of these, I have some comments. - Every other layer cream and jam. No need to add the extra work to mix on each. - If you make the crepes the day before, they will stick together. This can be lessened by a minute in the micro wave, also separation is helped if you add a cross of two inch wide strips of grease proof paper between layers of crepe as you stack them for storage.

[@DustinDeweerd]

Thanks for those tips, I like the idea of alternating the cream and jam layers.

Hi Super Chef John!!! Here 8n Chile we eat lots of crepes. Kids have them rolled with Dulce de Leche, we make them with ham and cheese, each individual rolled and then with a cheese bechamel sauce on top, etc. But there is one that my mother prepared, similar to yours p, but savory. First crepe, a thin cover of mayo, add lettuce, cut very thin, add another crepe, add slices of to tomatoes, adding mayonnaise on each crepe, then peas, another crepe, peas, another crepe, cut up boiled eggs, another crepe, ver thinly sliced sliced cucumber, another layer with canned corn, etc. When you are done, put mayo on top and decorate as you like, with black olives, hard boiled eggs, etc. If you wish, you can add tuna salad, or chicken salad on one of the layers. This “cake” can be served for a luncheon. I make my crepes larger for this purpose. I thought you might like this idea that we enjoy here. Much love to you!!!,

Grape TomatoGirl : since you ARE Grape Tomato Girl, May I presume you like grape tomatoes? Try making tiny, bite-size Caprese salads using one half of a grape tomato, a drop of olive oil, a drop of balsamic vinegar, a few grains of salt, a tiny coin of fresh mozzarella, and the tip of a basil leaf. You're welcome! :)

[@grapetomatogirl2141]

Adam Churvis, You have presumed correctly 🍅 (I also love grapes. Which is why I didn’t separate TomatoGirl- - which actually, doesn’t make any sense now that I’ve typed that out 🤔) Thanks for the recipe! I’ll be making it soon- - your version, and for myself, the vegan version, using Miyoko’s Vegan Mozzarella Cheese 😋 We’re a household of eight- so, I’m used to cooking this way. I’ve ‘veganized’ many of Chef Johns recipes. My family devours both his version and the vegan version 😁 In fact, I’m just about to pull his Greek lemon and garlic chicken out of the oven now for the family. I made a separate casserole dish of the potatoes alone (vegan) so I can still enjoy at least the potatoes, lol. I use mushrooms as the ‘meat’. I don’t do much prepared vegan meats. Pricey and, they taste better when you make them at home. Thank you, again, for the recipe. I love, and miss caprice salad 🥗!!! (My apologies for being *that* vegan who tells you I’m vegan- - I just wanted to be honest when i said I’d be making it and who was going to eat it 😋😃)

[@adamchurvis1]

@@grapetomatogirl2141 Vegan is actually making its way into international cuisine competitions. The Bocuse d'Or now requires a Vegetable Platter; I don't know if it's vegan, but it wouldn't be much of a hop to pure vegan from what I had seen of the competitors' entries. I have done a little experimentation with seitan, tofu, tempeh, and TVP, and there is no reason why great food cannot be made from these protein-rich ingredients with great flavor and great texture. Just the variety of tofu styles alone give us enough of a culinary palate from which to work. Let me know if you want my recipe for Looed Pressed Tofu, which is a compressed tofu slow-braised in Chinese Lu master sauce (once it's finished). I just finished rounding up all the exotic ingredients three days ago. This better be good, I tell you. But what I'd really like to develop is a vegan Bolognese Ragù made from a mixture of seitan, tofu, and TVP, to make a killer vegan lasagne.

The difference between “jellies”, “jams”, and “preserves” is literally the size of the pieces of fruit involved. For example, jelly has no discernible pieces of fruit in it. Jams have small pieces and preserves have noticeably bigger pieces.

[@reader8784]

As usual, an outstanding offering from an outstanding chef and video teacher! This is reminiscent of an Appalachian favorite, Stack Cake, which is thin layer after thin layer of usually a spice cake sponge with apple butter filling. The thinner the layers, the better.

Crepes were a favorite of my family when I was growing up for breakfast. But because there were 5 of us my Mama Jean would only make them for special occasions. We'd spread brown sugar on them & then squeeze juice from a orange over the brown sugar. Then roll them up & eat them. Wasn't till I was older that I found out that you could put other things on them. I've, now, eaten them with other toppings but the brown sugar and orange juice will always be my favorite.

@@cwbrooks5329 okay thank you so much for the advice and what do you by cooling it off?

[@cwbrooks5329]

@@ihavenolife3857 Well, if I remember correctly, you're going to be spooning strawberry preserves and cream in between the layers, and if the crepes are too hot that stuff will just sort of melt and run all over everything. You won't have pretty layers. If the crepes are room temp, that won't happen. You could even chill the "cakes" in the fridge after you construct them to set them, especially if you have to walk a bit for your picnic.

As far as I'm aware, jam is equal sugar and fruit, while preserves usually have less sugar. In fact I think it's law here in NZ that if it's labelled jam it must be that ratio.

Jelly is fruit juice set with sugar and pectin, jam is juice, solids, sugar, and pectin, and preserves are just fruit, sugar, and pectin.

[@deb8911]

Preseves for the win!

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

Difference between "fruit" and "juice and solids"?

[@Chemeleon15]

M.K. Carol In the case of “juice and solids”: Extra juice is added, or the fruit in question is juiced/mashed before cooking to yield a better product . Jelly is completely smooth (from juice) Jams are quite smooth, except for seeds. Preserves/compotes are chunky due to leaving the fruit mostly intact, aside from dicing large fruits.

[@MsSwitchblade13]

All I got from that is fruit, sugar and pectin in some order or combination makes yummy sweet stuff 😋

I LOVE the way Chef John talks

[@r.mcbride2837]

FYI: Jelly is a clear, gelatinous fruit spread, no fruit solids to speak of. Jam is a thicker fruit concoction that is spreadable and has some fruit solids. Preserves are spreadable fruit concoctions, thicker than jams, and have pieces of whole fruit. Marmalade, you ask? Marmalade is kind of in a class by itself. It's made from citrus and uses both the rinds and the whole fruit. Orange Marmalade is the most common. Conserves tend to be more on the savory side and are kind of the equivalent of a European chutney. Think preserves but chunkier and usually served like you would a chutney.

From what I remember from culinary school is that jam and preserves are essentially the same except preserves have larger chunks of fruit where jam theyre more incorporated. Jelly i believe doesnt contain any actual fruit in it. I could be wrong as its been a few years but thats what seems accurate from my memory.

difference in jam and preserves is the way you cook them. In jam the fruit jells in preserves it floats in chunks.

Not that I can make either like she did!

[@tenebrousColossus]

The difference between a jam and a preserve is purely texture, while jams are basically completely smooth (ie they have not bits of fruit in them) preserves have small little bits of the fruit you jame is made of, so a preserve is basically a bunch of small fruit pieces floating around in sugary liquid fruit.
