Recipe for Persian Sour Cherry Jam with Stevia
Ingredients
| 1 kilo | organic fresh or frozen sour cherries (I used frozen), stoned |
| 3 | medium organic lemons zested and juiced |
| 500g | xylitol or stevia |
| 1 tablespoon | Steenbergs Organic Lemon Extract |
| 900ml | water |
Method
1. In a large saucepan, add all the ingredients apart from the water and leave for 2 hours minimum or overnight for best results,
2. Now, add you water and place over a medium heat. Stir gently until all your sugar has dissolved. Bring up your mixture to the
boil and boil rapidly for an hour at 100 degrees.
3. Once reduced considerably, leave to cook for around 1-0-15 minutes then ladle into your sterilised jam jars. Store in the fridge
and it will keep for up to 3 weeks.
