This homemade jam cooks sweet cherries with sugar until the fruit holds its shape in a thick syrup. The method keeps the cherry pieces whole, adding bright color and natural sweetness to the breakfast table.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the cherries

20 min

Wash and pit the cherries. Put them in a wide pot with the sugar and let them stand for a few hours so they release their juices.

2

Cook with the sugar

35 min

Bring the cherry and sugar mixture to a boil over low heat, stirring occasionally. Skim off the foam as it forms.

3

Thicken the syrup

5 min

When the syrup thickens and the cherries look translucent, add the lemon juice and boil for 5 more minutes. Important: To check the consistency, drop a little syrup onto a plate; it is ready if it leaves a trail.

4

Fill the jars

5 min

Fill sterilized jars with the boiling jam and seal them. Turn the jars upside down to cool, then store them in a cool, dark place.

Reminder

Important: Cherry juice can leave permanent stains when you remove the pits, so wear old clothes or gloves. Skim the foam regularly as the jam cooks. It contains no flour, milk, or eggs and is plant-based and gluten-free. Fill sterilized jars with the boiling jam, seal them, turn them upside down to cool, and store in a cool, dark place.

İlk denememde biraz tedirgindim ama sonuç harika oldu. İkinci kez yapıyorum, ilkinden de güzel oldu.

Bu kadar yağ gerekli mi emin değilim, azaltarak da güzel oluyor.

Elimdeki peynirle yaptım, farklı ama güzel bir sonuç çıktı. Şekersiz versiyonu için tatlandırıcı denedim, tadı çok değişmedi.
