Cherries are ideal berries for making thick, tasty, and flavorful jams, as well as fillings for pies, compotes, and liqueurs. Cherries can also be frozen, as can cherries, strawberries, and herbs, but this must be done correctly so as not to spoil the healthy products.
TV presenter Konstantin Grubich shared a recipe for delicious cherry jam with vodka on his YouTube channel, in which the cherries are whole and the jam is a very beautiful rich color (to watch the video, scroll to the end).
Cook's tip: cherries for jam should not be green, but not overripe either! Be sure to remove the pits and remove the foam from the jam when cooking!
