Cherry season is one of my favorite times of the year because I absolutely LOVE cherries! I’d received a nice big bag of Bing cherries, courtesy of Melissa's Produce and, seriously, could have eaten the entire thing until I made myself sick, that's how much I love them. Instead, I started thinking about my grandmother, remembering her climbing up into the cherry tree that grew in her backyard, alongside an apple and peach. When I think back on those moments, it makes me realize, now more…

Out of all the jams I’ve made over the years {and I’ve made a lot!} this recipe for cherry almond jam is HANDS DOWN my favorite all time jam recipe. Who knew, that after all these years of canning, there were still undiscovered recipes that could knock my socks off! I don’t know about you, but I LOVE finding new recipes, especially ones that can make a simple hostess or last minute gift.

I have recently become somewhat, well, obsessed with making jam. So of course I had to make a cherry jam this week. Cherries and all things almond - such a great combo .... you can choose to can this jam or just make it and keep it in the fridge, up to you! I did a little of both. I also realize that it is a pain in the rump to pit 8 cups of cherries - just go to the zen place in your mind and be a pitting machine. Wear an apron.

I got this recipe from an internet search. It said it was exported from MasterCook from Kraft General Foods. It is very easy to make and is excellent jam. The recipe called for sour cherries, but I used sweet ones and it turned out wonderfully. Very nice blend of flavors.The cherry measurement is approx 3 cups pitted. You will need to chop the cherries and measure out the 1 & 1/2 cups after they have been chopped. It takes about 3 cups to get 1 & 1/2 cups chopped.

This recipe is just what you need to make a beautiful ruby coloured Sour Cherry Jam. Made with sour cherries and amaretto, it's the perfect combination of sweet and tart!
