Ingredients
- 1 pound pitted cherries
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- Juice ½ lemon
Instructions
- Cut the pitted washed cherries in half.
- In a medium/large pot add the cherries, sugar and lemon juice, stir to combine. Let sit for 1-2 hours.
- Cook on low/medium heat uncovered, stirring often for 45-60 minutes. If you prefer a smoother jam, blend part or all the jam with either a hand blender or machine blender. If still watery then continue to cook until thickened. Check for doneness by placing a 1/2 teaspoon of jam on a plate, tilting it should be thick and not run quickly down the plate.
- Pour the jam into a clean glass jar leaving ¼ inch boarder, close tightly and let cool, then refrigerate. Enjoy!
Notes
- Bing cherries and black cherries are great for jam.
- Homemade cherry jam will keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Or, if you want to can cherry jam it will keep well for 10 to 12 months! You will need canning jars and then follow the steps for sterilizing them.
- Yes, you can freeze jam if you want to store it longer. You can store the jam in freezer bags (be sure to squeeze out the air) or in jars. If you use jars be sure to leave space at the top because the jam will expand when it freezes. It will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer.
