How to Make Jalapeno Spiked Cherry Preserves
- Wash and pit 4 cups of fresh cherries.
- Finely mince 1 jalapeño pepper, removing seeds for less heat.
- In a large saucepan, combine the cherries, jalapeño, sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the cherries have softened and the mixture has thickened. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Ladle the preserves into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rims clean, seal the jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on altitude).
- Let the jars cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal.
- Store in a cool, dark place. Enjoy!
