Ingredients

  • 475 g | 16oz crushed sweet cherries
  • 175 g | 6oz crushed strawberries

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash, stem and pit the cherries. Roughly cut them with kitchen scissors or a sharp knife and then measure the right quantity. Crush them roughly using a potato masher.
  2. Wash the berries. Hull and quarter the strawberries then measure the right quantity into a bowl with the raspberries. Crush with a potato masher as before.
  3. Sprinkle the pectin evenly over bottom of the appliance fitted with the stirrer.
  4. Add the crushed fruit evenly over pectin. Add the lemon juice and butter – this helps reduce any foaming.
  5. Press the jam button – the cook time will automatically default to 21 minutes – and then enter.
  6. The machine will start cooking the fruit – wait 4 minutes for appliance to sound 4 short beeps indicating that it is time to add sugar. Add sugar gradually while stirrer continues running. Cover the pot with the lid and keep an eye on it. The machine will beep when the jam is ready. Press cancel, unplug the appliance and remove the lid.
  7. Pour the jam into warmed jars and store in the fridge – consume within four weeks.
