You will need:
4 lb Morello cherries
1 tsp Tartaric acid
3 lb Crushed preserving sugar
1 Small teacup of water
How to make Morello Cherry Jam:
De-stone the cherries and place the stones into a muslin bag. Place the fruit into a preserving pan with the small cup of water and the bag of cherry stones.
Simmer gently until the cherries are tender, then add the tartaric acid, followed by the dissolved sugar.
Boil rapidly until it will set when tested. Remove the muslin bag. Pour into warm, sterilised jars and leave to cool. Seal jars when jam is cold.
A delicious, easy to make cherry jam that is just as good on a slice of bread and butter, as it is between 2 layers of victoria sponge.
