// Homemade cherry jam

Fresh and natural

Every year I make cherry jam, but this time I had a little help ☺️, I used the new gelling agent for making jam from Dr. Oetker. I assure you it's great, it doesn't alter the flavor at all, which is a very important point, it's easy to use and the jam comes out with the perfect thickness and is delicious 😋.

I hope you enjoy the recipe 😍🤗❤️

Ingredients: Approx. 550g of jam

🍒700g of pitted cherries
🍬130g of sugar
🍋20ml of lemon juice (4 tbsp)
🥄1 tsp vanilla extract @dr.oetker_reposteria
🥄14g of jam-making gelling agent @dr.oetker_reposteria
🫙2 glass jars

Elaboration

🍒Wash and pit the cherries. Leave them whole
🍒Place all the ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently

🍒When the cherries are tender (10 minutes of cooking), remove half or slightly less, and continue cooking the rest for another 5 minutes
🍒Remove from the heat, blend briefly with an immersion blender, and mix with the reserved whole cherries

🍒Store in clean, dry glass jars 🫙. Seal tightly, turn upside down for about 10 minutes, then turn again to allow the jar to cool and complete the vacuum seal

Notes

✍️When you remove the jam from the heat, it will seem thin, but it will thicken as it cools.
✍️It's optional to remove whole cherries after 10 minutes of cooking. I like to see some whole cherries, but it's a matter of taste.
✍️To remove the cherry pit and keep the cherry whole, you can use a metal or hard plastic straw. Apply pressure with the straw, and the pit will come out.

Try making this homemade cherry jam! It will be delicious and will surprise everyone. Enjoy the authentic flavor!! 🤗🥰❤️
