Cornelian Cherry Jam (No Water)
Make a treat with a one-of-a-kind flavor for the family you love! Cornelian cherry jam without added water is easy to make, and it comes out delicious and a little unusual. The berries (cornelian cherries, also called dogwood berries) are slightly tart, but the riper they are, the sweeter. It's best made from ripe fruit — but be sure they're whole, unblemished, and not spoiled. This unusual treat is a great companion to tea in the cold months. Serve it to guests, or even pack it into pretty jars to give as a gift.

- Start by sorting the berries, tossing out any that are bad, badly overripe, mushy, or darkened. Rinse the sorted berries in a colander, then transfer them to a pot. To keep the cornelian cherries' beautiful color and help the flesh separate cleanly from the pits in the jam (rather than sticking), we'll blanch them. Fill a large pot with enough water that you can lower a colander into it and fully cover its contents. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Lower the colander, filled halfway with berries, into the boiling water. Hold the berries in the boiling water for a couple of seconds, then lift out the colander, let the water drain, and tip the berries into an enameled pot. Repeat until all the berries are blanched. Cover the berries with the sugar and set the pot over low heat, warming the jam gently and stirring as it heats. Don't add water — the cornelian cherries release plenty of juice on their own, more than enough for a delicious jam. Once the sugar has fully dissolved, take the pot off the heat and let it cool and steep for 12 hours. After that, return the pot to the stove over medium heat. Bring the jam to a boil, then immediately ladle it into clean, sterilized jars, cover with sterilized lids, and seal. Let the finished jam cool to room temperature upside down; you can also wrap the jars in a blanket. You'll get about 1.5 liters (1½ quarts) of jam in all, so plan on three pint jars. Store the jam in a cool place or at room temperature indoors. Enjoy your delicious jam!
