Jam is a widely used food to sweeten breakfasts, snacks and snacks. There are those who do not know how easy it is to do, and choose to buy the bottle at the supermarket. There is a war between jams with sugar, without added sugar, light and 0%, why not avoid it by making yours at home? Today we teach you how to make a homemade cherry jam, although it is also valid with other types of fruit.
Jams without sugar or sweetener
Maybe it is not cherry time when you read this recipe, but you are lucky to be able to make and consume it over the course of a year. When sealing the pot in the water bath, its duration in perfect condition is twelve months; the moment you open the pot it will only last for about 3-4 days. This is because it does not contain sugar and is completely homemade.
Enjoy your toasts, pancakes, ice creams, cheeses or cakes with this healthy topping. I also encourage you to make it with other fruits, such as peaches, blueberries and strawberries.
Ingredients
- 500 grams of cherries
- One teaspoon of chia seeds
Preparation
We wash and pit the cherries. If you do not like a lumpy jam, you can beat them together with the chia seeds so that it adopts a jam consistency.
In a saucepan or pot, put the cherries on low heat and stir so that the cherry loses water. You will see that it thickens with its own sugar.
It is a slow process, do not despair.
We fill a jar with our jam, close the lid and boil in a water bath to make the vacuum.
