1. Place a small plate in the freezer. Chop cherries then add them plus the sugar to a small deep pot over medium heat.
2. Stir well then allow to come to a boil. Continue to cook, stirring regularly until the jam starts to thicken. It took about 25 minutes total for my batch of jam but cooking times may vary so use the next step to be sure.
3. Check for readiness by removing the plate from the freezer and placing a small bit of jam on it. Turn the plate sideways and if the jam slides down slowly, it's ready. If is slides down quickly, it needs to cook longer and if it does not slide or does so very slowly, it's overdone. Note: It's still usable. It will just be harder to spread.
4. Spoon jam into a glass jar or other sealable container and allow to cool. Store in the fridge. Should keep up to two weeks.
