Tart Cherry Jam
I love having a sweet and tart jam around to add to yogurt bowls, rice cakes, a PB&J, or just to snack on. This recipe is simple and much more nutritious than any store bought jam. Try swapping out the traditional Smucker’s for this to decrease the added sugar in your day.
This recipe can be customized by altering the sweeter (honey and maple syrup)! Therefore, if you aren’t ready for a less sweet jam you can still have this less processed version.
