Comment préparer Sweet Cherry Jam
- Wash and pit 4 cups of fresh, ripe cherries.
- Combine pitted cherries, 3 cups sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Bring mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and boil gently for 10-12 minutes, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Test for setting point: Place a small spoonful of jam on a chilled plate; let it cool for one minute. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it's ready. If not, continue to boil and test again in a few minutes.
- Remove from heat and carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
- Wipe jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time based on your altitude - consult a canning guide for accurate processing times).
- Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. Check seals; they should pop and create a vacuum seal.
- Store in a cool, dark place and enjoy your homemade Sweet Cherry Jam!
