An old bartender's manual from England inspired the Gin and Jam served at The Ravenous Pig in Winter Park, Fla. Below is the recipe from The Ravenous Pig: Seasons of Florida cookbook. In the spring, we like to use blueberry jam for tanginess and tantalizing color. But, it works just fine with store-bought jams, like strawberry and peach. Orange marmalade is another good choice. The version shown here is mango, perfect for those summer cocktail parties.
