Don't you just love it when you come across a recipe that is easy, delicious and versatile to boot? I wish I could say the same about the spelling!
Hjónabandssæla means 'wedded bliss' and is an Icelandic 'happy marriage cake'. I found the recipe on The Icelandic Amateur Chef, a beautiful food blog written by Guðmundur Birkir Pálmason.
Homemade blueberry jam
The base is made from butter, oats, flour and sugar. Spread plenty of Jam over it and top with more oaty mixture
Serve warm or cold with clotted cream - I mixed my cream with some of the blueberry jam
Hjónabandssæla or Oatmeal and Blueberry Pie.

Looks delicious as does the blueberry jam. It's quite an alternative to the wedding cakes we're used to.
Looks delicious and I love the look of your blueberry jam - amazing. Thanks for the new blog too, its always nice finding new reads :)
Nic, that looks so yummy and you can't beat home-made jam!

Blueberries are still my favourite even after all these years!
I had a wonderful long weekend in Iceland a few years back and was totally blown away by the food (as opposed to any volcano's lol). Never came across this little gem though and I can't wait to give it a try.
Pass me a slice. Thank you ! :-)
Certainly looks good Nic and I do love blueberries!
Looks wonderful.
I've some blueberry growing in pots, but not enough for a jam :(
I'm bookmarking the recipe though :0)
Hjónabandssæla (yes, of course I copy/pasted the name) looks as lovely as its meaning!
I cannot wait for blueberry season!
that's one heck of a word! of course, icelandic folks may think the same of 'microbiological' and the like. :)
lovely treat, nic!
oh wow! that does look easy and delicious!
Love the idea of a Happy Marriage Cake - this looks great, am a huge fan of blueberry anything. :)
This looks gorgeous... you've not summonsed up a volcano with it though have you?!
Such a beautiful name and also a beautiful pie!
Oh wow Nic! Mmmmmmmmmmmm :P Oh and that last pic with the swirled clotted cream. I am undone!
I think this is the first Icelandic recipe I have ever seen! I absolutely love the colours of your photos in this post. Such a beautiful purple in the jam - especially when swirled with the clotted cream... mmmmmm!
Oh my word... that last photo was the kicker. Just the idea of all that creamy goodness oozing over the tart berry crumble is enough to send me overboard!!
