We prepare cherry jam for the winter. Cherry fruits ripen before others and open the season of blanks. Of them, jam, jams, compotes are prepared. Raw materials are used with or without bones. The most aromatic is cherry jam with bones, since it gives the finished product a peculiar taste. Cherries are a gentle berry, therefore jam is cooked, as a rule, in one reception. If the fruits are not sufficiently acidic, then citric acid is added, and also some flavors, for example vanillin, cinnamon, orange peel, are added to give the flavor more flavorful.
