How to Make Lusty Cherry Plum Jam
- Pit 1 kg of cherries and 1 kg of plums. Place the pitted fruit in a large, non-reactive bowl (stainless steel or enamel).
- Add 1 kg granulated sugar, 1/4 cup rosewater, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground cloves, 1/4 tsp ground ginger, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 cup red wine (optional).
- Gently stir to combine all ingredients. Cover the bowl and let the mixture sit overnight in the refrigerator to macerate (at least 8 hours).
- Transfer the mixture to a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Simmer for 40-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jam reaches setting point (a small amount placed on a chilled plate wrinkles when pushed with a finger). Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized pint jars, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean.
- Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing. Remove from the water bath and let cool completely. Check for seals (the lid should not flex when pressed).
- Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
