A classic homemade jam where sweet cherries meet sugar and take on a chunky consistency. This preparation, which preserves the fruit pieces' integrity, adds vivid color and natural sweetness to breakfast tables.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the cherries

20 min

Wash the cherries and remove the pits, place them in a wide pot together with the sugar, and let rest for a few hours so the cherries release their juice.

2

Cook with sugar

35 min

Boil the cherry and sugar mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally; skim off the foam that forms regularly.

3

Thicken

5 min

Once the syrup thickens and the cherries turn semi-translucent, add the lemon juice and boil five minutes more. Important: drop some on a plate — if a trace remains, the consistency is ready.

4

Jar it

5 min

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

Reminder

Important: When pitting cherries, the juice can leave a permanent stain, so use old clothes or gloves; skim the foam that forms during cooking regularly. Contains no flour, milk, or eggs; it is plant-based and gluten-free. Fill sterilized jars with the boiling jam and store in a cool, dark place.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you let the cherries sit with sugar for a few hours before cooking, they release their juice sooner, which both shortens the cooking time and better preserves the fruit's whole shape.

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.
