Cherry jam with gelling sugar

Cooking such jam is really very simple. And we will start, of course, with berries that need to be carefully sorted and washed. For jam, you need to choose ripe and whole berries without marriage. We put the washed berries on a clean towel so that they dry out a little. After a special device, we extract the bones from the cherries. The pitted berries are transferred to an enameled saucepan.

Put the pan on minimum heat. An important point is that we do not add water. That is, jam is made from only two ingredients! We are waiting for the juice released from the berries to start bubbling. Stirring is mandatory! Cook everything for 5 minutes.

Pour the gelling sugar into the pan, stir well until it completely dissolves. It is not necessary to bring to a boil. The main thing is that there are no crystals left. Remove the pan from the stove and put the hot jam in dry sterile jars, close the lids tightly and let it cool completely at room temperature.

P.S. To sterilize the jars, we warm them up in the oven. We do it this way: wash the towel, wring it out, spread it on a baking sheet. We lay out the jars on a wet towel on the side. We put a baking sheet with cans in the oven, which we turn on to warm up to 120 degrees Celsius. Keep the jars in the oven after heating for 10 minutes.

You need to store such jam in a dark, cool place. It is stored well, but, as a rule, it does not stay for a long time :) Because it turns out to be incredibly tasty, beautiful and seductively appetizing!
