How to Make Cherry Jam
by Rachel Paxton

Cherry jam is very easy to make. This recipe uses liquid pectin. Instructions are included below.

Cherry Jam
with liquid pectin

4 1/2 c. fully ripe cherries, pitted and finely chopped
7 c. sugar
2 pouches liquid pectin

Measure chopped cherries into a large sauce pan. Add sugar, stirring well. Place on high heat. Stirring constantly, bring to a full boil with bubbles over the entire surface. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the pectin. Skim.

Immediately pour hot jam into hot, sterile jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rims of jars with a dampened clean paper towel. Screw on lids. Process in a boiling water canner.

Yield: About 8 half-pint jars
