Cherry Raspberry Freezer Preserves

This recipe provided by Bernardin

Luscious cherries suspended in a tantalizing, soft raspberry jelly turn store-bought desserts into five-star restaurant fare and add a touch of class to breads. And, it's so easy to make; just prepare the fruit and stir - no cooking required!

 
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
  Serves 80 (1 tbsp/15 mL per serving)
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) granulated sugar
1 pouch (45 g) Bernardin Freezer Jam Pectin
4 cups (1 L/660 g) sweet Ontario Cherries
1-1/2 cups (375 mL/160 g) whole Ontario Raspberries
1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice

Wash and rinse 5 x 250 mL mason jars and BERNARDIN Storage or 2-piece SNAP Lids. In small bowl, stir together sugar and Freezer Jam Pectin until well mixed; set aside. Wash, stem and pit cherries. In a food processor or with knife, coarsely chop cherries, one cup at a time, do not purée. Press raspberries through a sieve to remove seeds. Stir raspberry purée into cherries with lemon juice. Add pectin-sugar mixture; stir 3 minutes. Ladle jam into mason jars to within ½ inch (1 cm) of top rim (headspace). Wipe jar rims removing any stickiness. Apply lids tightly. Let stand, about 30 minutes, until thickened. Freeze up to 1 year; refrigerate up to 3 weeks or serve right away.

Makes about 4 to 5 - 250 mL jars.
