We have to take advantage of seasonal fruit for everything, eat it, and cook any recipe. Making this homemade cherry jam made with fresh, seasonal fruits is quite a delicious experience!

Ingredients:

  • 500 grams of Cherries
  • 250 grams of sugar (1¼ cups)
  • ½ Lemon
  1. The first thing to do to make this homemade cherry jam is to pit the cherries in a bowl to collect the juice they release. Once pitted, weigh the cherries because you have to put the exact weight.
  2. Put the cherries in the bowl, add the lemon juice, mix and add all the sugar, and stir so that all the ingredients are mixed well. Let it all sit together for an hour or so.
  3. Put the mixture of cherries and sugar in a saucepan over high heat until it comes to a boil, reduce to medium-low heat and continue cooking for half an hour, stirring from time to time with a silicone spatula so that the mixture does not stick.
  4. Grind the cherry jam with a mixer to the point you like, I like to find a little piece, but that will taste.
  5. Check that the homemade cherry jam is just right by pouring a little on a plate and holding it with your fingers. It should form a thread between them when separating them. Remove it from the heat and make it cool a little. Even if it seems to you that it is somewhat liquid, do not worry because it hardens a little when it cools.
  6. Once the sterilized jars are full and covered, turn them upside down to evacuate until they are completely cold. You have to boil the filled jars for 15 minutes.

Tip: To sterilize the jars, boil them for about 10 minutes in a pot of water, remove with a pair of tongs and let them drain.

What a pleasure it is when you fill the jars with fresh homemade cherry jam, and above all, what satisfaction it is when you eat it! Homemade jams and preserves are very simple to prepare and are a delight for the palate. If you liked this recipe or have any questions, leave me a comment and try to solve it.
