jahan jam

it is the end of sour cherry season so i grabbed about 3 pounds at the market a couple of weeks ago and decided to try my hand at making jam, channeling my dormant and well hidden persian cooking skills.
i pitted, macerated, cooked, jarred and thanks to db, labeled my new found product path to kitchen goddessness.
the jam turned out delicious, and i gave a couple of jars away (okay, 3 pounds of fruit only makes about two and a half jars)  so i'm guessing more jahan jam jars are on the horizon!
look for one in a holiday gift basket coming to a special occasion near you.
