CherryMeyerGingerAde Marmalade
Found on rufusandclementine
Makes 2 - 1/2 pints
1 lb meyer lemons
1/4 cup dried cherries, chopped
2 cups loosely packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon, fresh grated ginger
1 tablespoon bottled lemon juice
Prep your canner and sterilize your jars and lids. Put a couple of saucers in the freezer. Wash lemons well. Quarter and remove seeds and pith. Chop lemons and cherries into small pieces.
(NOTE - picture has lemons cut into strips - you can do either way)
Add lemons, cherries, and lemon juice into non-reactive pot/saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add sugar and ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-ish high heat for 25 minutes. Watch and stir.
Time to test for a set. You are good to go when the jam reaches 220° f or you can do the wrinkle test. Put a teaspoon of jam onto a chilled saucer and let it cool off for a sec. Push it. If it wrinkles a bit, it’s set. If not, boil for 5 more minutes and try the wrinkle test again.
When ready, fill jars. Leave a 1/4 inch of headspace. Use knife or other bubble releaser to make sure there are no air pockets. Wipe rim clean with a damp cloth or paper towel.
Process for 15 minutes in the hot water bath.
