I made this jam as my first attempt at canning. My results were not perfect, as my jam did not solidify properly. It's a bit runny, but not so much that I won't use it or gift it away. I would halve the cinnamon and cloves next time and add more pectin. The spices make too strong of an influence on the jam and take away from the cherry flavor. I'd also add one more cup of cherries and perhaps 1/2 cup less sugar, so that i could get a full 6 jars. -
I made this years ago and thought I reviewed it but I guess I didn't :oops: This is great jam. It has a nice, different flavor.
