Summertime Jam Series~ Very Cherry Jam


Here is another yummilicious Jam recipe for you. Who doesn't love cherries in the Summertime? They are one of my favorites as well as my Dear Mr. Darling's favorite kind of jam. He is not a huge fan of jam with seeds... This one is perfect for him! We have already given out a few to our family and used it on Swedish pancakes, toast and sandwiches. So good!!!



 Very Cherry Jam

3 lb sweet cherries, pitted, about 4 cups chopped
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 package (1.75 oz) powdered fruit pectin
4 cups granulated sugar

Sterilize jars and lids.
In a large, deep enameled canner or stainless steel pot, combine the finely chopped cherries(using the food processor for this), lemon juice, lemon zest. Stir in the powdered pectin until blended. Place the pot over high heat and bring to a full boil, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar and return to a boil, stirring constantly. Once the mixture has returned to the full boil, continue boiling, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
