Cherberry Jam is a delicious mixture of strawberries and cherries, that makes both fruits taste even more delicious! This is an easy jam recipe that is perfect for beginning canners.
I used to can jam & jelly all the time with my mom when I was young but it’s been many years since I’ve canned. Now that I’ve moved back to Idaho, I’m sure I will be canning a whole lot more. If you love canning jam, you’ll want to check out our Blue Raspberry Jam, as well as our Apple Pie Jam.
Last week, Jamie, Kerry, my mom, and I all got together to can. It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun! If you follow us on instagram or Facebook, you may have seen pictures for our canning adventure!
Mom had a bumper crop of cherries and we had picked, and picked, and picked them in August. We juiced some for jelly, pitted and mashed some for jam, and prepared some for cherry pie. During this time, mom ran into one of her friends at the store. As there were talking about all of mom’s cherries, her friend told her we had to try Cherberry jam – a mixture of sour cherries and strawberries.
So we mashed up cherries and strawberries together and froze them to can later when it was cooler. Last week it was finally time to try it out! And I’m so glad that friend suggested it! Because Cherberry jam is GOOD! In fact, It’s REALLY GOOD!
