Cherries in their own juice
Rich, pitted cherry jam for the winter is made by cooking the berries in their own juice, without adding water. The only caveat is that you will need juicy cherries that can release enough liquid.
To make jam, sugar and berries must be taken in a 1:1 ratio. From 1 kg of cherries, according to this proportion, 1.2 liters of jam is obtained.
Step-by-step instruction:
- Wash ripe juicy cherries, remove seeds and pour into a cooking container.
- Cover the berries with sugar and leave for five hours to let them release their juice.
- After the specified time has passed, place the container with berries on the stove. Let the mixture boil, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 5 minutes. You should stir the jam from time to time to prevent it from burning. After turning off the stove, the workpiece must cool completely. There is no need to cover with a lid - this way the excess liquid will evaporate faster.
- Repeat the procedure two more times, removing the foam as it appears.
- After the third round of cooking, spread the finished jam into clean jars and roll up.
If after 5 hours the cherries still release little juice, do not despair. The situation can be corrected by adding a little water (no more than 200 g).

It becomes more liquid. It should be remembered that such jam must be used first. It is not subject to long-term storage.

General recommendations for making cherry jam
To preserve jam, you can use all varieties of cherries, but the most delicious delicacy is obtained from Napoleon (pink and black), Francis and Trushenskaya cherries.
The jam will turn out sweet when all the berries are ripe.
Before making pitted cherry jam, the berries should be washed well and the stems should be cut off. And of course, remove the seeds. It is worth noting that the process of removing seeds is not easy. Unlike cherries, cherry pits are tightly attached to the pulp, and removing them is quite difficult, but possible. If there is no special device to facilitate the process, a regular pin will do for this purpose.
If there was warm, humid weather during the period of flowering and fruit ripening, there is a high probability that larvae will appear in the berries. If “uninvited guests” are detected, the cherries must be filled with cold water and left for a couple of hours before processing. During this time, the larvae will emerge and the cherries will become clean.

What are the benefits of cherries?
Cherry dishes are low in calories, so they are recommended for consumption when following a diet. They are not only dietary, but also healthy because they contain calcium, magnesium, iodine, iron, copper, phosphorus, pectin, malic acid, glucose and vitamins A, B1, B2, E and PP. Antioxidants in the form of polyphenols help fight pain caused by various pathogens. The previously mentioned iodine, in large quantities, copes well with thyroid diseases. And iron is useful for people suffering from anemia. Unlike its relative - cherries, sweet cherries do not cause an increase in acidity, which means that they can be consumed by those who have a sick stomach, but not in large quantities.
