Very Cherry Cherry Jam

Cut the pitted washed cherries in half.

In a medium/large pot add the cherries, sugar and lemon juice, stir to combine. Let sit for 1-2 hours.

Cook on low/medium heat uncovered, stirring often for 45-60 minutes. If you prefer a smoother jam, blend part or all the jam with either a hand blender or machine blender. If still watery then continue to cook until thickened. Check for doneness by placing a 1/2 teaspoon of jam on a plate, tilting it should be thick and not run quickly down the plate.

Pour the jam into a clean glass jar leaving ¼ inch boarder, close tightly and let cool, then refrigerate. Enjoy!
