Cherry Jam with Rainbow Pepper and Thyme

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're creating a vibrant, spicy cherry jam infused with rainbow pepper and thyme that's ready to transform your desserts. The main time commitment goes into simmering and cooking the fruit (about 38 minutes), while the trickiest part is getting the jam to reach the right thickness by mixing the sugar-pectin blend in quickly and cooking it down until it thickens before jarring.

  1. 1/4

    Cook the cherries

    Pit the cherries and place them in a pot over low heat. If you're worried about them catching on the bottom, you can add a splash of water, but really no more than 50-100 ml.

  2. 2/4

    Blend

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

  3. 3/4

    Season

    Season with the pepper and thyme, then let it sit for 5 minutes. Mix the sugar with the pectin and quickly stir it into the fruit mixture. Mix thoroughly and cook for another five to ten minutes - the jam will start to thicken right away.
