- Sort through the cherry plums: discard any damaged or rotten berries and pull off the stems and twigs. Now wash them—either under running water in a colander, or by covering them with water in a bowl, swishing them with your hands, and draining. Pitting cherry plums is fairly tricky, so at this stage just leave the berries whole. 2. Put the prepared berries in a pot, add a little water, and set them over the heat. Cook over medium heat for 5–10 minutes from the time they come to a boil. The cooking time depends on how firm the berries are—the softer the cherry plums, the less time they need. Make sure all the berries cook evenly, so stay by the stove and stir to push any that float back under the water. 3. When the berries look translucent and squash easily under light pressure, you can turn off the heat. Cover the pot and let it stand for 20 minutes. Then put the berries on a sieve and gently press them through. All the pulp will pass through, leaving the pits and skins behind on the sieve. Work carefully so you don't burn yourself. 4. Stir the sugar into the strained pulp and return it to the heat. Cook for about 15 minutes over low heat. The mixture bubbles and can burn your hands, so stir gently. Then turn off the heat, let the cherry plum purée cool, and cook it again. It's best to repeat this at least three times—the jam thickens with each round. It's better not to do a fourth boil, as the color may darken too much, which you don't want. 5. Fill clean sterilized jars with the jam and seal them airtight. Don't skip sterilizing the jars—it determines how long the treat keeps. Stored in a cellar, this jam lasts up to two years! Happy tasting!
