Cherry Jam

Yesterday while making the chutneys, 2 batches of pear, orange and ginger ( see previous note for recipe) and one batch of Carolina Reaper, I boiled up all the apple cores and peelings and then strained the resulting mush. Today I've taken a kilo of the stoned cherries out of the freezer, added them to the liquid along with the juice of 2 lemons and 900g sugar, with the hope it'll make a set-able jam. It's boiling up now, and I have my fingers crossed. 

Got family coming this afternoon for a later lunch/ early tea, so need to get on with that next.
