Procedure
- Start by washing and pitting your cherries, then put the fleshy parts into a bowl and set to one side.
- Take 200g of granulated sugar and around a third of the cherries and add them to the maslin/jam pan.
- Over a low heat, use a potato masher to gently squash the cherries whilst they are heating.
- Allow the cherries and the sugar to start to bubbling and then leave to simmer very gently for a further 5-6 minutes. This will create a syrupy juice which in turn allows the rest of the fruit to macerate and boil in.
- Add the rest of the cherries, jam sugar, granulated sugar and lemon juice and stir well.
- Use the potato masher to crush the cherries again if necessary.
- Leave the fruit to simmer for around 30 minutes allowing it to macerate with the sugars.
- Remove the pan from heat and leave to cool slightly before transferring it into your sterilized jam jar(s)
- Chill jam in the fridge and serve cool on fresh bread or scones.
