We Be Jammin'... Sweet Cherry Jam



Sweet Cherry Jam 
Found on http://www.bhg.com

Yields: 6 half pints

Ingredients

3 pounds fully ripe dark sweet cherries

1-1 3/4 ounce package regular powdered fruit pectin 

1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel

1/4 cup lemon juice

5 cups sugar

Directions

1. Sort, wash, stem, pit, and chop cherries. Measure 4 cups chopped cherries.

2. In a 6- or 8-quart Dutch oven or kettle combine cherries, pectin, lemon peel, and lemon juice. Bring to boiling over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Quickly skim off foam with a metal spoon.

3. Immediately ladle jam into hot, sterilized half-pint canning jars*, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Wipe jar rims and adjust lids. Process jars in boiling-water canner for 5 minutes (start timing when water begins to boil). Remove jars from canner; cool on racks. Makes 6 half-pints (84 one-tablespoon servings).
