Hi, is it just me but there something not right with the jam directions. It calls for a total of 1 1/3 cups of cherries in all but then there's 2 other additions of a 1/4 cup each therefore, do you add 1/2 cup less on the onset or does the recipe call for almost 2 cups of cherries total?
Thanks

Can I use frozen cherries? I'm planning to take these to a party on Friday, they look divine!

Aha! I've had peppered strawberry jam (and loved it) but haven't tried pepper with cherries. Very nice!

Me too Teri! I love black pepper on just about everything, so I was pleased to come up with a dessert that used it as well!

Your recipe looks yummy - how does your jam come together without some form of pectin? I'm new into "jamming" and looking at cherry jam recipes to try - best of luck!

Hi Liz! The initial cooking of sugar and cherries releases all of the natural pectin found in the cherries. This really forms the "jam" base - the other two additions of cherries are simply for texture.
Good luck with your jamming!
Good luck with your jamming!

Hi Mariya! The spiced shortbread is yummy! They are good by themselves, but I love the jam with them as well!
