You're making a luxurious cherry jam that gets a delicious chocolate twist at the end. The cherries need about 20 minutes of gentle cooking before you blend or mash them to your preferred texture, then you'll quickly stir in sugar and pectin to get it thickening, and finish by folding in dark chocolate chunks that partially melt for that special surprise in every spoonful.

Cook the cherries
Pit the cherries and place them in a pot over low heat. If you're worried they might catch on the bottom, you can add a splash of water, but really just 50–100 ml.

Blend
Cover the pot with a lid and let it bubble away for about 20 minutes. Remove the lid, then mash with a potato masher or blend with a stick blender, depending on whether you want chunks of fruit in your jam or not.

Let it thicken
Mix the sugar with the pectin and quickly stir it into the fruit mixture. Combine well and cook for a further five to ten minutes. The jam will start thickening right away.
