About Cherry jam

Cherry jam is a sweet, fruit-based spread made primarily from ripe cherries, sugar, and often a gelling agent like pectin. It originates from European cuisine, where preserving fruits in jams and jellies has been a longstanding tradition. Cherry jam can vary in flavor from tart to sweet, depending on the type of cherries used. Rich in antioxidants, cherries provide vitamin C and potassium, which are beneficial for immune support and heart health. However, due to added sugars in most recipes, cherry jam should be consumed in moderation, especially for those managing blood sugar levels. Its vibrant flavor makes it a popular pairing with breads, pastries, or cheeses, adding a touch of sweetness to a variety of dishes. For a healthier option, look for low-sugar or homemade versions that retain more of the fruit's natural nutrients without excess sweetness.
