Source of Recipe


From "The Prepper's Canning Guide" by Daisy Luther



List of Ingredients



• 4 pounds sweet cherries
  
• 4½ cups sugar
  
• ¼ cup amaretto
  
• ½ cup lemon juice
  
• ¼ teaspoon salt
  
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  
• ½ teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions



1. Using a cherry pitter, remove the pits from the cherries. In batches, roughly chop the cherries using your food processor.
   
   
2. Place the cherries into a saucepan and stir in sugar, amaretto, lemon juice, salt, and spices. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until you've reached the desired consistency.
   
   
3. Ladle the hot jam into sanitized pint jars, allowing ¼ inch of headspace. Lid the jars and process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude.
   
   
   Makes approximately six 1-pint jars
