Homemade Cherry Sauce
1.
2 kg of cherries, washed and pitted.
2.
The easy way to remove the pit is to poke it in from the end of the cherry (the side with the handle), and the pit will naturally come out from the other side.
3.
Such a big pot of raw cherries is there. Here, everyone can choose. If you like to eat large pieces of fruit, you can then pickle it with sugar. If you like delicate jam, you can now put the cherries in a plastic bag and roll them into finer pieces. It is not recommended to use a juicer, which will cause separation of fruit and juice, which will affect the taste of jam.
4.
2 catties of cherries are just over a catty after removing the core, so 300 grams of sugar is more appropriate. This is cherry sauce with basically no acidity. If you like sourness, put less sugar now, and add it appropriately when you cook it.
5.
Mix well by hand, put on plastic wrap, and keep in refrigerator overnight. I think this step is still quite necessary. Don't rush to make it. Let the cherry juice permeate and the sugar can penetrate in. The taste of the jam will be different.
6.
The next morning, the cherry juice had already precipitated a lot.
7.
It is recommended to boil in a casserole or stainless steel pot. Put in the water that will submerge the cherries.
8.
At the same time, juice a lemon and set aside.
9.
Bring to a boil on high heat, then add lemon juice and stir slowly.
10.
There will be a lot of momo after boiling, so you must carefully skim it out. At this time, cook it over medium heat for about 10 minutes. During this time, you can add some sugar according to your taste. At this time, the recommendation to add is rock sugar, not granulated sugar. The color will look better.
11.
After removing the momo, the moisture is greatly reduced, and now you can smell the thick cherry sauce. Change to high heat and have another 2-3 minutes to collect the juice.
12.
Basically, turn off the heat and let it cool before bottling. The bottle should be water-free and oil-free!
13.
Put it in the refrigerator and pair it with toast and milk. It's a good breakfast!
