Method:

In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and lemon zest – set aside.

In a separate bowl whisk together the ricotta, eggs, vanilla, milk and lemon juice then pour this mixture into the flour bowl. Gently mix it all together carefully to avoid any over mixing.

Spoon tablespoon amounts onto a medium hot frying pan with a little oil or butter and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through, fluffy and full of air bubbles.

Make the jam by adding all the ingredients to a saucepan and cooking for 4-5 minutes until thick and jam like. You may want to use a potato masher to help break down the fruit.

This jam will keep covered in the fridge for 2 weeks once cooled. Suitable from 6 months. Both jam and pancakes can be frozen for up to 3 months.
