About the Product

Sunday Lincer Kolaci Black Forest Jam is the dark cherry-berry jam spread from Sunday, a Macedonian food brand — the 'Black Forest' filling in the Lincer Kolaci (Linzer cookie) range, specifically formulated with the rich, sour-sweet dark cherry profile that the Black Forest (Schwarzwälder) flavor tradition calls for as the classic filling for the Central European Linzertorte and Linzer cookie. Linzer cookies (Lincer kolaci in Macedonian and Serbian) are among the most beloved pastry traditions in the former Yugoslav and Central European household — the shortbread rounds sandwiched with jam and dusted with powdered sugar that appear on every holiday and bakery tray from Ljubljana to Skopje, at every slava, svadba, and Christmas gathering where a full kola? tray is expected. The Macedonian confectionery industry inherited the Austrian-influenced pastry traditions of the former Yugoslav state, and Sunday's Lincer Kolaci jam range provides ready-made Linzer fillings that allow the diaspora household to recreate the traditional cookie without sourcing the specific tart sour-cherry or redcurrant jam that the authentic recipe demands. Use as the Linzer cookie filling between two shortbread rounds, spread on toast as the dark cherry breakfast jam, spoon over vanilla ice cream as the Black Forest sundae sauce, or use in the cake layers of a Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte-inspired home bake.
