How to Make Easy Orange Cherry Marmalade

  1. Drain one 15-ounce can of pitted cherries and chop them coarsely. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 1 (12-ounce) jar of orange marmalade, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/4 cup sugar.
  3. Gently heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a gentle boil. This should take approximately 10-15 minutes.
  4. Stir in the chopped cherries.
  5. Bring the mixture back to a boil, then immediately remove from heat.
  6. Carefully ladle the marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, seal the jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (or follow your preferred canning method for safety). If not canning, store in the refrigerator.
