I carefully prepared and froze a whole bunch of fruit (nectarines, peaches, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries) over the past couple weeks (tray after tray of perfectly lined up pieces …), only to wake this morning to find that my freezer has quit. I will be making some of this with my cherries. Thank you.

I made the preserves last night after a sale at Whole Foods on Friday for organic cherries ($2.99/lb, wow!). It is to-die-for! I’ve done balsamic strawberry jam before, but the balsamic cherry is a match made in heaven. Such deep flavors, I am in love. I added pectin for fear it would be too runny, but wish I hadn’t. It is now too firm, but that’s my own darn fault!

Hey, I commented on FB too but I wanted to let you know that these preserves are a bit looser than a classic jam. Cherries are low pectin fruits so unless you were to add pectin, it’s a syrupy kind of final product. I still find it to be amazing on buttered bread, over ice cream or straight up on a spoon.

I just made this. And hopefully I did not mess it up since I doubled it. But I did cook it down until it was reduced by over half. It seemed a little runny but I went ahead and process the jars anyway. I have a partial jar which is in the refrigerator right now. I will try it out in the morning on a piece of toast. I think that even if it does not set up much, it will be lovely in some homemade yogurt or over vanilla ice cream.

This looks amazing and sounds fabulous. I’d like some right now on that yummy bread you have but I bet it would also be wonderful for sauces to go along with meats or desserts! This is definitely on my “to try” list! Thanks, Chris
