Preservation is a way of preserving nutrients in berries and fruits, known since ancient times. Berries are often cooked with sugar, which is a natural preservative and allows you not to use other additives. If you think that cherries with bones should be cooked for a long time, then this is not so. Of course, boil our jam for longer than 5 minutes, but the maximum of vitamins in it will remain due to a special way of cooking - in 4 stages. Tell you how to make jam from a cherry with a bone.
A few secrets
For such a jam, not every cherry is suitable. Berries should be medium sized or small - in such a cherry a small bone, it boils faster. The flesh of the cherry should be dense, elastic. We choose a juicy berry, and not the one that has a skin around the bone.
If the worms come across worms, soak berries for an hour and a half in salt water (1 tablespoon of salt for 1 liter of water), then several times rinse well. However, it is better to use berries "without meat".
You can make jam in enameled, cast iron or metal dishes. In the cast-iron cauldron, the jam will not be burned, but it is very heavy, constantly removing it from the plate and putting it back not every fragile lady. Optimal use of enamel bowl - in this case, carefully look to the enamel was not damaged, otherwise the jam will burn.

However, you can first boil the syrup from water and sugar, pour it with cherries, and then start cooking. In any case, jam is brewed in 4 absolutely identical stages. Heat on medium heat our bowl with berries. Once the syrup has boiled, cook, stirring very often, 5 minutes. Do not forget to remove the foam.
