Winter Spiced Cherry Jam Recipe

We’ve been into full on comfort food these days, which means lots and lots of baked goods–especially scones. The fun thing about scones in our house is that we can’t eat them on their own–we have to have toppings. It’s a rule. We were daydreaming about all the cherries we’ll eat from our trees this summer and decided to have a go at a winter inspired cherry jam. Cinnamon and clove are my favorite spices and the thought of them paired with cherries sounded perfect, so we tried out a Winter Spiced Cherry Jam Recipe and I’m happy to report that it was a success!

    Can I just put in clean jars and store in the refrigerator or for this recipe do I need to do the whole canning process? I am new to make jams!
