Chokecherry Jam

By Hklbrries

Ingredients

• 4 cups of fruit
• 1 cup of water
• Sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Remove stems from chokecherries and wash, then drain. Add 1 cup of water to each four cups of fruit. Place over slow (or low) heat and simmer until fruit is very tender, stirring occasionally.

Rub pulp through medium sieve. Measure pulp and add an equal amount of sugar. Place over moderate heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a full, rolling boil until mixture "sheets." Stir frequently.

Pour into hot, sterile jars filling 3/4 of the jar. Seal and process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes, then cool. You may freeze if you choose.
