Today I will bring to your attention several simple and delicious recipes for pitted cherry jam for the winter: with gelatin, thick, five minutes, without water. Are you waiting for the start of berry season as much as I am to make a delicious dessert? There is something magical in the process, because while cooking, stirring a delicious delicacy with a wooden spoon, we dream of how in the winter we will take out the treasured jar, pour some tea and... There is little that can compare the pleasure!

Cherry jam is prepared in different ways: without seeds or without removing them. The first option is considered preferable, since the jam is safer and of better quality - with seeds, the delicacy can be stored for no longer than a year.

By the way, I like to spit sometimes. Therefore, I prepare several jars of jam with seeds. We'll talk about recipes later, I have collected a lot of them. And how, you can find out right now.

How to make pitted cherry jam

There are classic, time-tested recipes, but unusual recipes should not be neglected. After all, it is in your favorite delicacy that you can find all the charm of preparing cherries. Make jam with the addition of gelatin (I introduced the recipe to this), add lemon, honey, chocolate and nuts.

An important step in making any jam is proper preparation of the berries. And cherry is no exception.

  • If you want to get the best jam, select ripe cherries, without damage or signs of spoilage.
  • If you plan to cook jam without a pit, remove it with a hairpin or other special device; there are a lot of them on sale now. Below, under the recipes, you can watch a video that shows three ways to remove pits from cherries.
  • Sort the berries, remove the stems, wash and dry.

Pitless cherry jam - family recipe

The classic, most common and simplest option for making pitted cherry dessert. The berries will turn out whole and beautiful.

you will need:

  • Water – 1 glass.
  • Sugar – 1.2 kg.

How to cook:

  1. Separate the seeds from the berries, place them in a cooking container and add sugar.
  2. Let the cherries sit for 2-3 hours, let them release their juice and form a syrup.
  3. Now pour in the water and start cooking, over low heat - the sugar should dissolve completely.
  4. When there are no grains of sugar left, increase the heat to maximum and bring to a boil.
  5. When the treat boils, remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Repeat the action several times. I usually boil the berries 3-4 times this way. Don't forget to remove the warbler - in the evening you will drink tea and a candy bar.
  6. Let the cooked jam cool completely and put it in jars. It stores well in apartment conditions.

A small addition: my mother did not cook cherry jam in several batches; after the first boil, she boiled the berries for about an hour until tender. But this option has a significant drawback: the berry turns out shriveled. In addition, you need to constantly stand near it and spend a lot of time stirring and skimming off the foam. We are busy girls, so I prefer to cook according to the recipe suggested above.

Recipe for seedless jam - five minutes

I usually let the berries sit overnight.
  2. In the morning, put a bowl of cherries to boil and bring to a boil.
  3. When the jam boils, add citric acid, cook for exactly 5 minutes and remove from heat.
  4. While the delicacy is “bubbling”, prepare the jars for sealing: pour boiling water over them, sterilize them in some other way, and do the same with the lids. Pour the jam hot and roll it up.

June is the perfect time to make the most delicious jam of the year. Moreover, we are going to cook it without seeds. As you know, this is much tastier, because you only feel the sweet, fleshy pulp and nothing extra.

General cooking principles

To make the jam tasty and prepared correctly, you definitely need to choose good berries. What is meant? Let's deal with everything in order.

First of all, it is important to remember that the cherries should be as fresh as possible. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to negotiate with the seller, then do so. After all, the fresher the product, the better and tastier the jam will be.

The next point is the condition of the berries. You definitely need to sort them out when you get home, even if you are not going to make the jam right away. Cherries that are somehow damaged must be removed so that the nearby berries do not spoil. This applies to moldy berries, bruised cherries and those with cracks.

Confiture with honey and nuts

An original and nutritious recipe for cherry jam, in which honey replaces sugary sugar.

How long is it - 1 hour.

What is the calorie content - 186 calories.

How to cook:

  1. Remove the pits from the cherries;

Tip: instead of walnuts, you can use whole hazelnuts, but then you need large berries.

It is very important to remember that cherries cannot be cooked for too long, otherwise the peel will separate from the pulp and the result will not be presentable. In this case, you will have to catch the crusts to give the jam a more appetizing appearance.

During cooking, be sure to remove the foam from the surface of the jam. This can be done with a regular spoon or, if possible, with a slotted spoon or sieve. Foam is a protein released from the product, which contributes to the rapid souring of future jam, so it must be disposed of without fail.

To make a quick five-minute jam, we recommend buying berries that are already fully ripe or even overripe, since they will not cook for long. But for other recipes this will not work, since in the end you will not get jam, but cherry porridge.

If you plan to put jars of jam “under a fur coat,” then remember that you don’t necessarily need to use blankets. These can be blankets, towels and even warm jackets and sweaters. But, of course, ideally these are warm, thick blankets so that the jam cools as slowly as possible.

This delicacy is very easy to prepare and does not require experience or Herculean efforts, just a little desire. Everything is quite simple, fast and incredibly tasty!

Hello my dear readers! Summer, having rapidly soared to the very top, continues to delight us with a generous harvest. It's time for cherries and apricots. How do you feel about making pitted cherry jam today?

Already prepared - I love its aroma and patriarchal slowness. He poured a cup of tea, poked a spoon into the rosette of jam, and put the cherry on his tongue. She lay there for a while, annoying me to no end. At this moment you need to take a sip of tea, but so that the cherry remains in its place. Having closed your eyes, you bite into a cherry, slowly pick out a pit and dive into the outlet for a new portion.

For pancakes, pancakes and ice cream, it is still better to prepare pitted cherry jam. I rarely brew it with just the cherries themselves. It contains little of its own pectin. If we cook it for a long time so that the syrup becomes thick, then we will hopelessly spoil the jam. In addition, it will turn out brown, and I love jam of the noble color of dark red velvet.

For this very reason, it is good to send raspberries, strawberries, and red currants along with cherries - their natural pectin will make the jam jelly-like in consistency and the color beautiful!

My comments

  • The method is quite labor-intensive and takes a lot of time and effort. But it allows you to get cherry jam that is absolutely amazing in consistency and taste. Since we cook it without seeds, it can be used for amazingly delicious layers in cakes and pastries.
  • If you have some strawberries - not enough for a jar of strawberry jam or preserves, but for some reason you don’t want to eat them, then feel free to send the berries to the cherries intended for jam. The result will also be very tasty jam with a wonderful jelly-like consistency!
  • We make jam from frozen cherries in a similar way. We remove the seeds from the thawed berries, then cook as indicated above.

If summer has given you a huge harvest of the most aromatic berries, then you can first simply freeze it, and then, when you have more time, slowly turn it into different types of jam.

I myself really love variety and unhurried creativity. Therefore, I am not in a hurry to collect the entire harvest in one day, if time permits. I collect parts and “compose” all sorts of different jams, which is what I wish for you. Or I put some of the berries in the freezer and make jam even in winter, when there is much more time.

Always yours Irina.

Goldfrapp - Lovely Head

Summer is not only a time for relaxation, but also a time for preparations. I have already talked about and have already frozen it, I will delight my family in winter - they love it very much. I also decided to make jam, and I want to offer you recipes for pitted cherry jam.

Pitted cherry jam can be cooked in different ways - for five minutes, with gelatin, in the form of jam, and I’ll tell you about all these methods.

And although not everyone makes jam now, I believe that this type of preparation also has its own charm. Cherry jam turns out aromatic, tasty, it can be eaten with tea, as well as with pancakes, pancakes, and used as a filling for various baked goods. Many people make cherry jam with pits, but in my opinion, seedless is still better - it’s more convenient to eat and use for other purposes. But this is a matter of taste. Before I start telling you how to make cherry jam, I’ll give you some general tips.

Secrets of making delicious cherry jam

  • In order for the jam to turn out tasty and stand well all winter, the cherry fruits must be ripe and fresh; spoiled berries are not suitable for jam;
  • Before you start cooking, you need to wash the cherries well;
  • You must first pit the cherries. This task is a little tedious, but not difficult. I have a very ancient stone separator in my arsenal, but I am quite happy with it. I think there are more modern devices now, but even if there is nothing, they say it can be easily done with a pin;
  • It is recommended to use a wide container for making jam; it is believed that the larger the surface for evaporation, the better. It’s probably not in vain that our mothers and grandmothers made jam in a basin;
  • jam jars must be sterilized - this can be done using a saucepan, kettle, microwave and oven;
  • Boil lids for jars;
  • the foam that forms during cooking of any jam must be removed - this will extend its shelf life.

Thick cherry jam


To be honest, I didn’t know what to call this recipe, it has an unusual method of preparation, but I liked the jam according to this recipe, but its thickness also depends on the cherries, if they are dry, it will be thicker, if the cherries are juicy, then it will not be very thick , but if desired, you can boil it a little longer.

Ingredients:

  • fresh cherries
  • granulated sugar

Recipe:

With this method of preparation, the measure can be any container, depending on how many cherries you decide to use for jam. It is necessary to divide the cherries into ten parts. This time my measure was a small tea cup.

  1. Take 1 cup of cherries (remember that this measure may vary), place in the bowl in which you will cook the jam and add 1 cup of sugar. You can wait a little so that the cherries give juice, or you can start cooking right away, but then stir vigorously so that the sugar does not burn. Cherries are quite juicy berries and will quickly produce juice. You need to cook for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the next portion, i.e. 1 cup of cherries and 1 cup of sugar and boil again for 5 minutes.
  3. So we continue to cook the cherry jam, adding a portion of berries and sugar every 5 minutes until all the cherries are gone. Remember that we divided it into 10 parts.
  4. After the 10th time, thick pitted cherry jam will be ready. Place it in dry sterile jars and roll up the lids.

  2. Place the bowl with the cherries on low heat, stir occasionally so that all the sugar is saturated with juice, since the dry sugar will begin to melt and this will affect the taste and color of the jam.
  3. When there is a lot of juice, you can increase the heat, bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes, remove the foam and set the jam aside for at least 10-12 hours. During this time, the jam will cool completely, and the cherry fruits will be soaked in syrup.
  4. Thus, we will cook the jam 3 times for 5 minutes and leave until completely cooled for the specified time, which is why I said that we will cook it for 2 days.
    After the third time, it should stand for the required time, then bring the pitted cherry jam for Five Minutes to a boil and seal it hot in jars.

Seedless jam with honey and nuts

A little trouble, and a delicious dessert according to an unusual recipe is ready. Cherry jam with nuts and honey is exquisite and royal. I can give advice on my own: it is not necessary to put nuts in the berries, as indicated in the recipe. I'm lazy and put them in syrup when boiling.

  • Cherry – 1 kg.
  • Honey – 1 kg.
  • Walnuts – 10-12 pcs.
  • Water - a glass.

How to cook:

  1. Remove the seeds from the berries and replace them with a piece of nut.
  2. Combine water with honey, stir and turn on gas.
  3. When the syrup boils and the honey has dispersed, fold in the prepared berry.
  4. Cook until the cherries become translucent. Cool and cover with regular lids.
