Step-by-step cooking recipe
Separate the cherry berries from the twigs, sort, rinse under running water and throw them into a colander.
Combine water and sugar in a saucepan, stir, bring to a boil and boil, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes on low heat.
Lower the berries into the boiling syrup, mix gently, add citric acid. Boil the jam over low heat for 30-35 minutes after boiling. Adjust the cooking time at your discretion - depending on what kind of jam consistency you want to get.
Pour the hot cherry jam into a sterile jar, roll up and cool at room temperature. For long-term storage, place the workpiece in a cool, dark place.
