I love it when strawberries are cheap, which thankfully they are at the moment. What a great excuse to make up a batch of sconesin your Thermomix smothered in jam! For this recipeI use frozen pitted cherries for convenience. We love the flavour of the strawberries and cherriescombined in this jam and the colour is just so rich and beautiful. Try the jamon pancakes, waffles, stirred through a cheesecake, in a tart, dolloped on top of a pavlova, as a ripple in a cake, on a sconeor just on toast…. or maybe just on a spoon! :)
This recipe is based on the wonderful Strawberry Vanilla Jam recipe by Tenina and is being published with Tenina'spermission.

Can I use all cherries in this recipe as I have bought some from our local cherry farm?

This was a great recipe. We like a chucky jam so not blitzing 1/4 of the cherrys in the first step then adding them before 2nd step turned out brilliantly. Thinking this is a great base recipe for other fruits too.

Pleased to hear you enjoyed it Kylie. And yes any fruits can be used. I did it just the other day with peaches! Delicious!

Instead of using berries and cherries I had some soft peaches to use. I only changed the fruit and used the same ratios of other ingredients. Tastes delicious 😋

Can I use less sugar?
Reply
thermofun says
Hi Apple, you can but the sugar ratio in Jams is for preservation purposes - 50% of weight of fruit. If you use less than this, the jam will have a shorter shelf life. Keep in fridge and it should be ok for a couple weeks but use caution for longer than that. Enjoy! :)

How long does the jam last refrigerated? thanks

thermofun says
Hi Roxy - I'd estimate 4-5 weeks in the fridge. Assuming you sterilised the jar and use a clean spoon every time. :)

This is truly a delicious jam, the colour is gorgeous! I'm making batches up right now for Xmas gifting while strawberries are cheap and I was able to get frozen cherries half price at the supermarket. Recommend!

Good morning :) What happens to the pips, core and skin? Do we remove them once cooked? Thanks!
Reply
thermofun says
Hi Christine - the pips, core and skin stay in as they get blitzed in step 1. Enjoy! :)

How does this jam set? I feel like the recipe is missing a crucial ingredient?
Reply
thermofun says
Hi Lisa - there is pectin in the berries and the apple which is a setting agent. :)
