Homemade Cherry Preserves

Sweet, rich and naturally flavorful Homemade Cherry Preserve is so good that you will need to stock up on bread so you can make toast for breakfast as an excuse to spread this wonderful natural reward. When cooking this preserve you will notice a fragrance permeating throughout that is full of sweet notes of tart berry mixed with inviting tones of lemon melted sugar. Aromas like this are what makes a house into a home. A generation or two ago ladies would measure their reputation as a cook by being master prepares of the best preserve in town. That sentiment is still ever present and remains part of our culture. My goal is to develop those kinds of memories for my children by setting the bar for how to spend time together.  With absolutely zero preservatives and a lot less sugar compared to store bought, this is a guilt free treat for the kids. My kids will get up early to toast an English muffin or a slice of bread for breakfast when this fresh made preserve is one of the choices. This can also be added to oatmeal or used to smother a scone to add a bit of seasonal delight to the midsummer breakfast experience.  Check out my video to see just how easy this preserve is to make and let me know what you think of the recipe.

As with most preserves; you can substitute any type of fresh seasonal fruit local to your area and likely accomplish the same goal of deliciousness.

Pit & chop cherries

Place the cherries, sugar and lemon juice in a stainless steel or nonstick pan. Mix everything together.

Turn the stove top heat high and bring it to a boil (this should take about 2-3 minutes). Stir frequently to prevent burning or sticking to the pan. Then, turn down the heat to medium and let simmer for an additional 45-50 minutes. Continue to stir frequently. Let the cherries simmer until the juice evaporates. 

Turn off the heat & remove the pan from heat source. The mixture will thicken after as the preserve reaches room temperature. 

Once cool enough to touch; Transfer the contents to a jar or container and place in the refrigerator. 

It’s good for up to 4-6 weeks.

      Best Classic Burger Sauce

      Smooth and delicious homemade classic burger sauce is somewhere between a flavored mayonnaise and a sweet sauce variant that is full of flavor on any budget. I love to smother a scratch-made hamburger with a heaping serving of this mouthwatering sauce to take the lusciousness to the next level of taste satisfaction. Burger sauce is a great mayo substitute or may be used as a condiment or dipping sauce and pairs very well with seafood, cold meats, and fried foods like french fries. I recommend you try it at least once to see for yourself how easy it is to make.

        This preserve can be kept in the refrigerator for 4-6 weeks. But good luck with that once your kids find out just how good it tastes.  This never lasts very long in my house. My children eat the preserves with almost everything they can think of. It’s so good, if I let them, they would eat straight out of the jar.  Of course, I don’t let them do that… but they haven’t caught me doing it yet 😉
