Instructions
- Place the cherries, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium-sized saucepan.Stir well.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring continuously.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture cook for 25-30 minutes until the cherries have softened and the juices thickened. You will need to stir frequently.
- You can mash the cherries if you like, using a potato masher. I skipped this step as I prefer a chunky cherry jam.
- Transfer to a clean, sterilized jar, close the jar, and let the jam cool at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
