confiture de cerise.

this summer in france i learned to love many new foods including jam and cherries. each morning for breakfast i would eat these things called biscottes (which are basically little pieces of toast) and an assortment of jams. i would basically pile as much jam as i could onto one piece that's how much my new love for jams had sky rocketed. the second food i came to love were cherries. since i bought my lunch at the local produce market every day, i would to explore my options. at least twice a week i would buy a big bag of cherries to eat during class. today while i was shopping at the HT (Harris Teeter for all of you non-south easterners) i had a great way to fuse my two food loves together: cherry jam! lucky for me cherries were on sale this week. when i got home i googled different recipes and found one that looked easy and had pictures. unfortunately, i didn't have a de-pitter  so i got a little, well more than a little, messy. but after de-pitting all of the cherries, it was smooth sailing from there. i added lemon juice and sugar to the cherries and put them on the stove to simmer. super easy and super tasty! now tomorrow i can eat my cherry jam with some biscottes!

ingredients: cherries, lemon juice and sugar
