Zubereitung von Jewel Jam
- Pit 2 cups fresh cherries.
- Chop the pitted cherries coarsely.
- Combine the chopped cherries, 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cherries are soft (about 10-15 minutes).
- Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Boil hard for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 box (1.75 oz) Sure-Jell fruit pectin. (Follow package instructions for using Sure-Jell)
- Skim off any foam from the surface.
- Let the jam cool slightly (this helps prevent the fruit from floating to the top).
- If the jam seems too thin, cook for a few more minutes, checking consistency regularly. For a firmer jam, consider using a powdered pectin following package instructions.
- Ladle the hot jam into sterilized 8-oz glasses or jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
- For long-term storage: Cover with melted paraffin wax (optional) or follow Ball canning instructions for water bath canning.
