📝 Preparation Steps
1
Wash the cherries, and remove the stems and pits.
2
Cut the cherries in half or into smaller pieces if preferred.
3
Place the cherries and any captured juice into a medium saucepan.
4
Add 2 cups of sugar and 1/4 cup of lemon juice, and stir to mix.
5
Over medium heat, stir the cherry mixture until the sugar is dissolved and liquified.
6
Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring often.
7
Boil the black cherry jam for about ⏱️ 15-20 minutes until the temperature reaches the gel stage at 220° F.
8
Ladle or pour the jam into prepared jars or containers, leaving 1/4 inch headspace (if canning) or 1'' headspace if freezing.
9
Preserve the jam by using a hot water bath canning method, or after the jam has cooled, keep the jam refrigerated or frozen until ready to eat.

If canning, process in a water bath canner for ⏱️ 10 minutes (⏱️ 15 minutes if above 6,000 feet in elevation). After ⏱️ 24 hours, check seals and store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator for immediate use.
