Cherry Preserves

Cherry preserves can be made with sweet cherries, like Bing, or sour cherries, like Montmorency. Cherry preserves contain sugar and sometimes corn syrup, citric acid, or lemon juice, as well as added pectin.

Cherry preserves are different from cherry jam in that preserves contain easily distinguishable whole fruits or fruit pieces, as opposed to jam, for which chopped or crushed fruit is cooked until soft and spreadable. Both fruit preserves and fruit jam are made with sugar and sometimes added flavorings and pectin, but not always.
