At a glance
You're making a fragrant cherry jam with the exotic warmth of tonka bean — a quick project that takes just under an hour from start to finish. The cherries simmer down to a jammy consistency, then you'll stir in sugar, pectin, and a pinch of grated tonka bean to create that distinctive, aromatic flavor. Once it thickens, you'll pour it into jars and you're done.

Simmer the cherries
Pit the cherries and place them in a pot over low heat. If you're worried about the cherries catching on the bottom, you can add a splash of water, but really just 50-100 ml.

Blend it up
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 an immersion blender, depending on whether you want chunks of fruit in your jam or not.
