Print Recipe

A delightful homemade Cherry Almond Jam, combining the sweetness of cherries with the nutty undertone of almond liqueur, perfect for spreading on toast or topping desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 36 ounces pitted sweet cherries, chopped
  • 3/4 cup almond liqueur (or almond extract)
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 package (1-3/4 ounces) powdered fruit pectin
  • 4 1/2 cups sugar

Instructions

  1. Prep your kitchen: Start by washing and pitting those lovely cherries. Then chop them into small pieces to maximize flavor infusion.
  2. Sanitize your jars: Prep your jars by running them through the dishwasher or boiling them for a few minutes.
  3. Combine the cherries and lemon juice: In a large pot, combine the chopped sweet cherries and lemon juice.
  4. Add sugar and pectin: Stir in the sugar and the powdered fruit pectin gradually for better incorporation.
  5. Bring it to a boil: Place the pot over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves fully, then bring it to a hard boil.
  6. Time to gel: Boil for about 1-2 minutes until it reaches a perfect consistency. Test by dropping a spoonful on a plate.
  7. Add the almond liqueur: Pour in the almond liqueur and stir quickly, boiling for another minute.
  8. Jar it up: Pour the hot jam into your clean jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top, and screw on the lids tightly.
  9. Cool down: Let jars cool completely at room temperature, then store them in the fridge or a cool, dark cupboard.

Notes

Try variations by adding vanilla, spices, or other fruits for unique flavors.
