Simple cherry jam with pits

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make simple cherry jam with pits? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Choose cherries that are ripe, not wrinkled, and without signs of rot. Berries can be used both fresh and frozen. If desired, you can add other berries or fruits. I like the combination of cherries with cherries, apples and apricots. The amount of sugar can be adjusted to your taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse jars and lids with baking soda. Sterilize the jars in a way convenient for you: in the oven, microwave or steam. Boil the lids for 3-5 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Remove the stems from the cherries. Rinse the berries thoroughly several times. Place the washed berries in a container suitable for making jam.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add sugar to the cherries and mix thoroughly. If you have frozen cherries, you can first prepare the syrup, pour it over the cherries and let the berries defrost a little. Then you can go straight to step 7.

5. STEP 5

   

   After 5-10 minutes, the berries will begin to produce juice.

6. STEP 6

   

   After half an hour, the amount of juice will increase significantly. If you put the saucepan directly on the stove and cook the cherries a little while stirring, the juice will flow more intensely.

7. STEP 7

   

   I didn’t cook the berries first, so as soon as I saw that the juice appeared in large quantities, I put the berries on the fire. Bring the future jam to a boil. When cooking cherry jam, a lot of foam always comes out. Skim off the foam with a spoon or spatula. Turn off the heat and cool the berries in the syrup to room temperature.

8. STEP 8

   

   Return the container with the cooled jam to the fire. Boil the berries for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and cool the jam to room temperature. Repeat this procedure three more times. For the last time, pour the boiling jam into the jars and screw on the lids.

9. STEP 9

   

   If you want thicker jam, add gelatin to it (follow the instructions on the package) or cook the berries longer - then the jam will boil down. Good luck with your preparations and bon appetit! When the jam cools, it becomes viscous. The aroma is incomparable!

In the midst of cherry ripening, I want to make more preparations for the winter. This time I chose simple cherry jam with pits. I’m just tired of taking out the seeds)) It’s great that you can just cover the cherries with sugar and cook, this is a fairly quick way. Boiling the jam three times is as easy as shelling pears. In the morning I brought it to a boil, simmered it over low heat for about five minutes and put it away until the evening, repeated the procedure in the evening, and the next morning sealed it in jars. One kilogram of cherries yielded three 450 ml jars. The jam is very tasty and sweet! This cherry I had was light, but after each cooking the color became more saturated and bright. The recipe is excellent, I'll take note.
