Cherry And Vodka Jam
This 'low sugar' jam is perfect for bread as well as scones
Makes enough for: 1 batch jam
Ingredients
- 500 g cherries, pitted weight
- 150 mls water
- 250 g fructose
- 15 mls lemon juice
- 10 g apple pectin
- 50 mls vodka *
Method
- Place the cherries and water into a large sauce and bring to the boil over a medium-to-low temperature
- Add the fructose and lemon juice and increase the temperature, stirring until the fructose dissolves
- When boiling, add the pectin and stir to dissolve
- When the jam reaches 100° Celsius, lightly mash the fruit
- Continue boiling until the temperature reaches 104° Celsius
- Remove from the heat and skim off the scum
- Add the vodka and stir to mix it in
- Place into sterilized glass jars, seal and leave to cool
- Place into the fridge to set completely
Notes
* I used an infused Vodka to add more of a dimension of flavour to the jam.
