what do you put cranberry jam on?

The only thing I bought over in Russia (beside a nesting doll for my baby niece of course) was a jar of homemade cranberry jam from an old lady on the street in one of the country towns. She lured me in for a taste test of some of her jams and the cranberry was so crazy delish, so I happily traded her 2400 rubles for a jar.
Check out the old jar she put it in. One of my classmates bought her strawberry hazelnut jam that came in a Nescafe jar. Hehe.
Buuuuut, I don't know what to put it on. The jam didn't taste so delish on that piece of toast in the pictures, so now I don't know what to do with it. It's more tart than sweet, so I think it needs a sharp cheese or a piece of poultry perhaps to make it perform more like a cranberry sauce than a cranberry jam. Hmmmm...any ideas?

"Honey. We're all out of fresh homemade mango salsa. Will canned be okay?"
Ahahaha!
"Maybe we should just have some lamb lollipops or meatloaf club sandwiches instead."
I have an idea for using your Russian cranberry jam. Spread it over cream cheese that has softened a bit so it's easy to spread. Serve with crackers. Also, you might get some ideas online at allrecipes.com or foodnetwork.com. It 's kind of funny...you grew up in Plymouth County...home of Ocean Spray, and here you are eating cranberry jam from Russia!!!!
Mmmm...good idea. Maybe I'll bring it to Thanksgiving.
Seems it would be stellar on a Thanksgiving-leftover turkey sandwich!
Or pork chops.
