Cherry Jam

Ingredients

Cherry: 250gms

Cloves: 3

Sugar: 175gms

Lemon juice: 5-6tbsp

Method Of Preparation

Wash the cherries and add it into the pressure cooker.

Add 31/2 cups water and keep on flame.

Wait for three whistles and switch off the flame.

Let the pressure release and let it cool and mash well and take out the seeds from it.

Then add sugar and cloves and again keep on flame without closing the lid.

Stir occasionally and when it starts thickening, add lemon juice and start stirring frequently till you get the consistency.  (To check the consistency, take the cold saucer out of the freezer, put a little jam on it, and put it back in to cool for a minute. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, then it's done.)

Switch off the flame when done.

When cooled, store in an air tight bottle.
