Cherry Jam
Ingredients
Directions
Clear off all the scum from the cherries.
Beat the sugar to a powder.
Gradually add the sugar to the cherries and stir off the fire until dissolved.
Use more sugar if the cherries are very acidic.
Add a few blanched and dried kernels a couple of minutes before pouring out the jam.
