Growing up, I scarcely indulged in doughnuts; the idea of eating a deep-fat fried ball of – usually heavy and bland – enriched dough never truly getting my juices flowing. These days, good-quality doughnuts seem easier to stumble upon, but they can be expensive. Homemade Jam Doughnuts are a different matter entirely; light, fluffy and devastatingly delicious, there’s almost nothing better. And to cap it off? Homemade doughnuts are surprisingly simple and unabashedly frugal; providing, of course, you make your own jam.
