Cherry jam,


Yesterday at the farmers market in Jönköping I found a very beautiful and very tasty cherries. Since I did not know, what to do with them, I let them stand overnight with out eating them. Today after I had finished with strawberry jam, I decided to try to do something with cherries.
It ended very well, at least I think. I decided to make a different kind of jam, what I never had tried before and to be honest, I even could not think to put those taste together.The end result, I must say was wonderful. And most of all, it was and is very tasty. Help for that wonderful taste became from Dansukker's booklet.


Ingredients for jam:

500 g cherries
250 g bananas
2 lemons
3 dl water
1 kg Dansukker Jam Sugar
2 tbsp Vanilla Sugar



Rinse and pit the cherries. Peel and slice the bananas. Thoroughly rinse the lemon and grate the zest coarsely. Juice the lemon. Put the cherries, bananas, lemon zest, lemon juice and water in a saucepan, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the jam sugar and boil for 2-3 minutes. Add the vanilla sugar. Remove from the heat and carefully skim off any scum. Pour into warm, sterilized jars, filling them all the way to the top. Seal with warm, sterilized lids. Store in a cool place.
