Serves:
Ingredients
- 4 cups BC cherries, pitted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
-
In a large saucepan, combine the cherries, sugar, and lemon juice.
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved and the cherries have released their juices, about 5 minutes.
-
Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jam thickens.
-
While the jam is cooking, sterilize four 8-ounce jars and lids by boiling them in a large pot of water for 10 minutes. Remove the jars and lids from the water and set aside to cool.
-
Once the jam has thickened, remove it from the heat and carefully ladle it into the prepared jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and place the lids on top, tightening them until just finger-tight.
-
Place the filled jars back into the pot of boiling water and process for 10 minutes. Remove the jars from the water and let them cool on a wire rack for 12-24 hours before storing.
-
Store the sealed jars of BC Cherry Jam in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
