Ingredients

  • 24 ounces frozen dark sweet cherries
  • 3/4 ounce dry pectin
  • 1/4 teaspoon star anise, ground fine
  • 20 grinds fresh nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 5 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Place the cherries in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Sprinkle with pectin over the cherries followed by the star anise, nutmeg, lemon juice and vinegar.
  3. Once the cherries start to release their liquid in the bottom of pan, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.
  4. Lower heat and boil gently for five minutes occasionally mashing mixture.
  5. Mash in sugar, add the water, and return to a boil until the mixture reaches gel point. The frozen plate method works well for testing doneness.
  6. Process the jam using the hot water method for 10 minutes, or refrigerate and enjoy over the next week or so.
