Five-Minute Cherry Jam
Description
Of course, this kind of jam needs special storage—I keep it only in the refrigerator, although friends assure me that in the cellar it keeps perfectly well until February, or even March. I don’t know, I haven’t tried it; I store it in the refrigerator, and I eat it much sooner than February–March arrives :) So, let’s make five-minute cherry jam. Jars keep for up to a year in a cool place.
