Cherry Jam Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is cherry jam made out of?

Cherry jam is typically made from fresh or frozen cherries, sugar, and pectin or lemon juice to help it set. The cherries are cooked down with sugar to create a sweet, spreadable consistency that captures the rich flavor of ripe cherries. Our Heritage Cherry Jam, however, contains no additional sugar added during the creation process.

How do you thicken cherry jam?

To thicken cherry jam, you can add a little extra pectin or continue cooking it to evaporate more water, which naturally thickens the jam. Alternatively, adding a splash of lemon juice can also help thicken by boosting the pectin’s effectiveness. Just be careful not to overcook, as this can affect the flavor.

What do you eat with cherry jam?

Cherry jam pairs wonderfully with toast, biscuits, and scones, but it’s also delicious in yogurt, on pancakes, or even as a topping for desserts like cheesecake. For savory options, try it with cheese boards or as a glaze for meats like pork or duck.

What can you eat with jam besides bread?

Jam is incredibly versatile! Beyond bread, you can enjoy it with oatmeal, mixed into smoothies, paired with cheese, as a filling in pastries or cakes, or even as a base for salad dressings or glazes in savory dishes. Cherry jam’s unique flavor adds a sweet twist to countless dishes.

What is the difference between cherry jam and cherry preserves?

The main difference lies in the texture. Cherry jam is made with crushed or pureed cherries, creating a smooth, spreadable consistency. Cherry preserves, on the other hand, contain larger pieces or whole cherries, offering a chunkier texture and more bite-sized fruit pieces in each serving. Both are delicious but vary in texture and mouthfeel.
