How to Make Sour Cherry Jam?
Ingredients needed to make sour cherry jam:
Pitted sour cherries: 1 kilo
Sugar: 1 kilo
Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
Steps to Prepare Jam:
Pour the pitted cherries into a suitable pot or container.
Sprinkle sugar over the cherries and completely cover them with sugar, then cover the container.
Leave the jam in the refrigerator for 24 hours to allow the sugar to melt a bit and draw out the juice.
If the jam has produced very little juice after 24 hours, add about a cup of water to it.
Put it on low heat until it slowly comes to a boil.
Regularly skim the foam off the top of the jam and stir it regularly to ensure the jam is transparent in the end.
Once the jam has cooled down, pour it into your chosen container and store it in the refrigerator.
Note 1: The extent of cooking the jam and the amount of sugar depends on your preference. If it boils more, the jam will darken and thicken. If it doesn’t boil enough, it may develop mold. More sugar may also cause crystallization.
Note 2: The final volume of the jam should be two-thirds of the original volume.
Note 3: Adding lemon juice is to prevent the formation of mold.
Note 4: After boiling the jam for the required time, remove it from the heat and let it cool down with a clean cloth on it. The jam will thicken a bit after it cools down.
