It is cherry picking time again. We have two trees and they are both loaded with tart cherries! The birds love them and so do the deer. We even caught a naughty little raccoon raiding the tree. I hope there are enough cherries to go around.
Get out the supplies: clean jars, ladle, lids and screw bands, canning pot, and jar lifter. Sterilize all.
The hardest part of making cherry jam is preparing the fruit. You must wash, pit and chop the cherries before cooking them according to your recipe, and the insert in the Serta package. Fill jars and water bath for 15 minutes. It is really easy. Time consuming, but easy.
This is the yield from the first batch plus a little more to eat now. Sweet and tart, cherry jam is yummy.
