Ingredients

• 4 cups pitted sweet cherries
• 4 cups sugar
• Zest and juice from 2 limes, approx. ¼ cup
• ¼ cup water

Directions

• Add the cherries, sugar, lime juice and water to a large Dutch oven.
• Slowly bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
• Turn the heat up a little and cook rapidly, stirring often to prevent sticking, until the jam reaches the gelling point, about 35 minutes.
• Add the lime zest, stirring to evenly distribute throughout the jam.
• Use the plate method to check for gelling or use a digital thermometer. Gelling is reached at 220 degrees or 8 degrees above the boiling point of water.
• Spoon the hot jam into prepared jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
• Wipe the lip of each jar with a damp paper towel, top the jars with a lid and a lid ring.
• Process the jars in a water bath canner for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool completely
