Marmalade of Cherries Recipes

We are full season of cherry, a purifying fruit, with antioxidant properties, rich in water and high in potassium and sugar so it is not recommended for diabetics. One of my favorites of the summer and addictive! It is difficult to stop once you start to eat. So taste persists more than time that we can find it in the markets, we can keep it in the form of jam. A traditional and simple recipe but that it requires from the times of waiting and a little boning cherry.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg. Cherry
• 600 Gr. of sugar.
• Juice of 1 lemon.

Method:

1. We clean the cherries, remove the tail and de-bone. This step is the more expensive the process although there are a few boning that for what I have heard are useful in the market.
2. We introduce the cherries in a bowl and add the sugar and lemon juice. We remove and let marinate at least 3 hours.
3. Once marinated, pour the mixture into a saucepan and cook to fire medium without stirring, so us sticking, for 20-25 minutes. If after that time, it was still very liquid, we climb the fire and we will continue to cook without stopping to remove until obtaining the desired texture. To check the thickness, can take one teaspoon in a plate let cool a few minutes, slightly tilt the plate and checking that it does not slide.
4. While the mixture is cooked, we sterilize the jars that we are going to use. For this we introduce both pots and lids in a pot with water and a cloth kitchen to boil the water not are they hit. We maintain with boiling water for 15 minutes and get to a clean surface.
5. Pour the mixture into sterilized jars and safe conservation boil once filled with jars, cooking in Bain-Marie for about 20 minutes and using a dishcloth between jar and jar so that they do not hit.
