Cherry jam with a stone for winter. 2 ways

Cherry jam is a reminder of summer in the middle of winter. The first method is very fast and delicious! In just 30-40 minutes. But I decided to torment myself and cooked cherries in a very long way. It's a long time, but it's worth it! Very tasty! In total, a long way takes all day, if you start early in the morning. However, the cooking itself also takes 40 minutes. Everything else is cooling and infusing.

Fast way . This cherry jam can be cooked in a faster way: boil the berries in one go for 40 minutes over low heat. and the jam is ready. Also delicious!

According to the same recipe, you can cook pitted cherries.

Jam is usually made from the ratio of berries and sugar 1:1. That is, for 1 kg of cherries there is the same amount of sugar. However, it seemed to me that it would be quite sweet, even cloying, especially considering that the cherry itself is quite a sweet berry. So I found a recipe in which you need to add less sugar. In this regard, the syrup turned out to be quite liquid. You choose how much sugar you need, according to your taste. You can like me or in a ratio of 1:1.

Cherries make a very tasty compote, which I cook for several years in a row. Look at the recipe compote here
