Cherry jam is one of the most beloved treats of Russian cuisine. Its rich ruby color and exquisite balance of sweetness and slight tartness make it an ideal addition to morning tea, pies, or even just fresh bread. The history of cherry jam goes back to ancient times when it was made in villages using traditional recipes passed down through generations. Cherries cooked in fragrant sugar syrup reveal the depth of their flavor, while the tender pieces of fruit soak up the sweetness while retaining freshness and summer juiciness. This jam is not only a wonderful treat but also a healthy source of vitamins that reminds us of warm days and family tea gatherings during winter.
