Ingredients
- Cherry Jam**
- (make a few hours to 3 days in advance)
- 1 pound fresh or frozen pitted cherries
- 1/4 cup Madeira wine or water
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (more if desired)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Preparation
Step 1
1. Gently pulse the cherries in a blender or food processor. Do not puree them, just pulse until the cherries are coarsely ground, leaving some large pieces for texture.
2. Transfer cherries and the rest of the ingredients to a small sauce pan, then bring to a simmer. Cook until the liquid starts to thicken, 20-35 minutes. Stir often toward the end, pulling the spoon across the pan. You'll know it's about done when you pull the spoon through the jam and it takes a second for the juices to fill the space back in.
3. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely, then chill. The jam will continue to thicken as it cools.
