How to Make Cherry Almond Jam
- Combine 4 cups pitted fresh cherries, 1 cup almond slivers, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and 1/4 cup almond extract in a large saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
- Gradually add 4 cups granulated sugar, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
- Continue to boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching, until the jam reaches setting point (a small amount placed on a chilled plate should wrinkle when pushed with a finger).
- Remove the jam from the heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
- Ladle the hot jam into sterilized, hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace at the top.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean, then seal with lids and rings.
- Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet (adjust processing time according to altitude – consult a canning guide for higher altitudes).
- Remove jars from the canner and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' sound as the jars seal.
