Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh cherries and raspberries. This will ensure that your jam has the best flavor and texture.
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the jam. This will give the jam plenty of room to boil and splatter.
- Stir the jam constantly while it is cooking. This will prevent it from sticking to the pot and burning.
- Test the jam for doneness by spooning a small amount onto a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is done.
- Let the jam cool completely before storing it. This will help the jam to set and thicken.
- Store the jam in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve the jam's flavor and quality.
