Cherry Jam

Once opened, refrigerate cherry jam. Unopened jars can be stored in a cool, dark pantry for longer, but check the expiration date.

Stir jam into yogurt or oatmeal for a burst of fruity flavor.

Use cherry jam as a glaze for roasted meats like pork or duck.

Warm jam slightly before spreading for easier application on baked goods.

Toast and bread

Scones and biscuits

Yogurt and ice cream

Cheesecake

Pork and duck

Chocolate desserts

Not stirring jam enough while cooking can lead to scorching.

Using too little sugar or pectin can result in jam that doesn't set properly.
