I feel spoiled to have a sour cherry tree in my backyard, it is over-producing this year! Going to give this a shot!

Jeff, did you use the Certo liquid pectin? I’ve found that it doesn’t work as well as it used to. It could also be that you needed to cook it a bit longer, the times quoted in the recipe above are approximations. Cooking time can vary depending on the amount of water in the fruit, the width of your pan, the humidity in the air and the intensity of your stove. If you are really unhappy with the jam, you can take it out of the jars, recook it with a bit more pectin and rejar it. So sorry that it didn’t set up for you!

I am a sour cherry addict. My mother in law gave us a tree when we moved into our house 8 years ago (Okanagan, BC, Canada) We live in orchard paradise. I got my best crop ever this year, about 12 lbs, and have been pitting/jamming/freezing for the last few days. Nothing is better than Sour Cherry Pie. BTW I barely use the pitter for my sour cherries as I can usually pull the pit and stem all at once.

HHHHEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!!!!! I tried this as well as a strawberry jam this year using liquid pectin and I can not get it to set up. I now have a case of chunky strawberry & sour cherry syrup. What have I done wrong. This is my 1st full season of preserving and 2 of my biggest projects have produced sub par products.

Sour cherry rhubarb pie is my favorite thing to make with sour cherries. I just picked up a 10 lb container of pitted sour cherries. I will make one batchof jam and then freeze the remainder for pies.

I have the honor of having my very own cherry tree in my yard. Just harvested 8 pounds last night. I’m making jam today! Usually, I dry them and make pie filling. The birds are eating my cherries as we speak but it is a holiday weekend….
