Questions about Cherry jam
How much cherry jam is a typical serving?
A spoonful of about 20 g is enough to spread on toast or stir into porridge. That portion provides 48 kcal.
How do you stop homemade cherry jam from staying runny?
Cherries are relatively low in pectin, so add lemon juice and use jam sugar containing pectin, following its pack instructions. To test the set, put a little jam on a chilled plate; if it wrinkles when pushed after cooling briefly, it is ready.
Do you need to remove the stones before making cherry jam?
Yes: stone the cherries first, then weigh the prepared fruit for your recipe. A cherry stoner is quickest, but you can also halve each cherry and lift out the stone with a small knife.
How should you store cherry jam after opening?
Keep the jar in the fridge and use a clean spoon each time to avoid introducing crumbs or other food. Homemade jam should be put into clean, hot jars and sealed while hot; discard it if you see mould or notice an unusual smell.
What goes well with cherry jam?
Spread it on scones, toast or croissants, or layer it with whipped cream and chocolate sponge for a Black Forest-style cake. It also pairs well with plain yoghurt or soft cheese.
Can you use cherry jam instead of fresh cherries in a cake?
Use it as a filling or swirl rather than as a direct replacement in the batter: jam adds sugar and moisture, while whole cherries hold their shape. For a Black Forest-style cake, spread a thin layer between the sponge layers.
Can you use cherry jam instead of another fruit jam in baking?
Yes, it works in thumbprint biscuits, pastry tarts and sandwich cakes wherever a thick fruit filling is wanted. Its distinct cherry flavour is especially good with chocolate and almond.
