Ingredients:
500 g pitted cherries (fresh or frozen)
400 g brown sugar
200 g granulated sugar
juice and grated zest of 1 lemon
30 ml MaxAroma Cherry-Brandy Aroma
2 packets gelatine powder
100 g caramelized sour cherries (or simply cherries baked on baking paper with caramelized sugar)
Preparation:
Wash the cherries and remove the seeds.
Place the washed and pitted cherries in a large pot and mix with the brown sugar, lemon juice and grated lemon zest.
Bring the cherry mixture to the boil over a medium heat. Add the gelatine and simmer for a further 4-5 minutes, or until the cherries are soft and the juice thickens slightly.
Meanwhile, prepare the caramelized cherry seeds. Caramelise the granulated sugar in a pan over a medium heat, then add the MaxAroma Cherry-Brandy flavouring and the cherries, stirring to coat the cherry seeds all over with the caramel.
When the cherry mixture is cooked and slightly thickened, drizzle a small amount onto a small plate. When the cooled jelly has set and does not run, the jam is ready.
Stir the caramelized cherry seeds into the cherry jam, then pour into jars and seal. Allow to cool completely. Will keep for months if stored in the fridge.
This cherry jam with caramelized cherry seeds is a special and delicious dessert that is perfect with toast, pancakes or yoghurt. Enjoy your meal!
