Pumpkin Jam Cookies – Pumpkin Hamentaschen

Last Updated on March 5, 2020 by Chef Mireille

This spicy jam is a wonderful condiment that can be paired with many foods.  Eat on toast, use it as a glaze for grilled chicken or shrimp or thin it out with some olive oil and use it as a glaze for roasted nuts.

This pumpkin jam is so versatile. I have used it everything from these cookies to Pumpkin Pork Chops to Pumpkin Grilled Cheese Sandwich.

For another jam option, do check out my Mango Papaya Jam recipe here & Peach Jam !

See my hamentaschen recipe here and use the pumpkin jam as the filling.

Hamentaschen are traditional cookies served during the Jewish holiday of Purim.  I used these cookies as the dough for these Jam Cookies.  Instead of using the traditional apricot, prune or poppy filling, I used this pumpkin jam to make these delicious pumpkin jam cookies.
