Easy Chia Cherry Jam

Here&#039;s my favorite old-fashioned cherry jam recipe that&#039;s high on taste but low on sugar and doesn&#039;t use store-bought pectin! Can it or toss it in the freezer for freezer jam (or see our pectin option in the notes below if you&#039;re in a hurry!). No matter the method, these cherry jam recipes come together easily so you can enjoy the bright taste of cherries all year long.

Cherry Jam Recipe Without Pectin and Low Sugar

sugar

lime juice lemon

Wash, remove stems, and pit cherries. A cherry pitter is highly advised

Roughly chop up cherries. Place chopped cherries in a large stock pot. Add 1/2 cup water to cherries. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. You'll see the cherries begin to break down and thicken.

Stir in sugar and lemon juice, mixing well. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Sugar will scorch quickly if not kept moving. Boil, uncovered, till thick, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into hot sterilized jars.

Note: It's set when it sticks to the back of a metal spoon. This is called sheeting. Look at the jam dripping off the edge of the spoon. It should look like a "sheet" of jam, not a bunch of individual drops. Cherry jam is not meant to be extremely thick. It's a thinner jam, excellent on pancakes, waffles, toast, etc.

Wipe rims with a damp towel, put on lids and bands. Submerge in hot water bath and process for 15 minutes *increase processing time for high altitude (see note section). Take off of heat and let sit for 5 minutes before moving to a folded towel. Let sit for at least 12 hours before checking seals on jars. Then store in a cool dark place for up to a year. If any jars didn&#039;t set, store in fridge.

Make 2 pints or 4 eight ounce jelly jars.

Possibly my new favorite jam! Thanks for the recipe! Super delicious and easy! Going to try it with honey next time.

I too was wondering where is the lemon zest used, as both recipes talk about juice, I can't find reference to the zest and how much to use.

I made the cherry jam without pectin yesterday. Ended up with 6 pints. It taste wonderful. Had to cook a little longer than you had said but it all came out good. Thanks for the recipe!

Very easy and delicious. Took a while to reduce, but the final product is thick like pectin jams with intense cherry flavor.
