Prepare your special jam stock
Every year when summer arrives I try to prepare some jams to be able to enjoy them during the cold winter season, or to give them as a Christmast present to my loved ones. I found this recipe some years ago in a German magazine, which I’ve unfortunately lost in the meantime – this is a bit of a reinvention. It is perfect for toasts or pancakes, or even by itself: I love cherries and chocolate and this combination goes well together.

- 1kg of black cherries (yields around 800g once they’re cleaned)
