Ingredients
- 1 cup (pitted and chopped) Fresh cherries
- 1 cup (hulled and chopped) Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Pectin powder
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the cherries and strawberries by washing them thoroughly. Pit and chop the cherries, and hull and chop the strawberries into small, even pieces.
Step 2
Add the chopped cherries, strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and pectin powder into the bread machine pan.
Step 3
Secure the bread machine pan and set the machine to the 'Jam' or 'Preserves' cycle. This setting typically lasts about 90 minutes, but refer to your bread machine's manual for details.
Step 4
Once the cycle is complete, carefully open the machine (use oven mitts if it’s hot) and check the consistency of the preserves. If the mixture is too runny, you can cook it further by running another short jam cycle or transferring it to a pot and simmering on the stovetop for a few minutes.
Step 5
Allow the preserves to cool slightly before transferring them to sterilized jars. Seal tightly and let the jars cool completely at room temperature.
Step 6
Store the preserves in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process the jars in a hot water bath for longer shelf life following standard canning instructions.
