Cherry Jam. — This is made in the same way as other jams (see Directions for making Jam), but the cherries must first be stoned. This is easily and quickly done with a little instrument that is sold for this purpose. If you pull out the cherry stalk and then insert the instrument into the cherry at the end where the stalk has come out, you will extract the stone without losing any of the juice. The fruit must be weighed after it is stoned, and half a pound of sugar is the allowance for a pound of sweet cherries, and a pound of sugar for a pound of Morelia cherries

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
