Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. pitted cherries roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally while mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Let mixture simmer while occasionally stirring. If you want a jam that's less chunky, you can gently mash the mixture with a potato masher while it cooks. Let cook for about 20-25 minutes, until jam thickens and/or is at 220 degrees on a candy thermometer.
  • Remove from heat and transfer jam to a mason jar, seal, and place in fridge to cool completely.
