Sweet & Sour Cherry Jam Recipe
Sweet Sour Cherry Jam Recipe
"Make some tasty fresh cherry jam this fall. This sweet and sour cherry jam recipe is simple. This homemade jam is a perfect topping for many delicious desserts. Add it to a cake recipe between cake layers or as a topping. Don’t make large quantities at one time. Large volumes take longer to reach the right temperature. If you cook this recipe too long, the fruit will break down and eventually dissolve in the jam or preserves. You want a chunkier jam. "
