Yield about 4 (1-cup) containers or 64 servings, 1 Tbsp. each

Number Of Ingredients 4

1-3/4 cups prepared fruit (buy about 1 qt. or 1-1/2 lb. fully ripe sour cherries)
4 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl
1 pouch CERTO Fruit Pectin
1/4 cup juice from 2 lemons

Steps:

  • Rinse clean plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly.
  • Remove and discard stems and pits from cherries. Finely chop or grind cherries. Measure exactly 1-3/4 cups prepared fruit into large bowl. Gradually add sugar, stirring until well blended. Let stand 10 min., stirring occasionally.
  • Mix pectin and lemon juice in small bowl. Add to prepared fruit mixture in large bowl; stir 3 min. or until most of the sugar is dissolved and no longer grainy. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)
  • Fill all containers immediately to within 1/2 inch of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. Jam is now ready to use. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks or freeze extra containers up to 1 year. If frozen, thaw in refrigerator.
