Hi grace-Oh really! hehe yes that is the problem although using cherries from a jar helps in that regard

Hi panda-hehe yes it’s that kind of jam

Hi Betty-it’s fruit right? Oh yes I remember that ad!!

Hi Jamie-I would say your way of eating it is far more sensible

Hi Jenn-Grape jelly! how fantatsic! I made a spiced grape jam (we call jelly jam here) and it was delicious

Hi Blond Duck-Hehe I know! It’s so unAustralian to not be able to swim

Hi Carol-Hehe great minds think alike!

Hi Midge-Oh yes isn’t gianduja just begging to be eaten by the spoonful! Oh yes I think we get the cherries from Europe and European delis. Such a shame they’re so expensive though!

Hi 5 Star Foodie-Thanks!

Hi anna-Ahh cool, I’m glad I’m not the only one!

Hi nora-They’re great aren’t they and they make a lovely gift too!

Hi pontch-Aww thankyou so much

Hi Kim-it was a great time I tell ya! Very cool! Although you could always use the pre pitted ones to save on headaches

Hi Sophie-Thankyou so much!

Hi maris-I love the idea of this with a gorgeous chocolate or vanilla bean ice cream! hehe even low fat frozen yogurt!

Hi Soma-Isn’t the testing fun! Wwhen it works out that is

I have no doubt that you will have 4 great days ahead of you. A weakness for all things cherry, is easily understood. I just bought a huge bowl of them. Going back for more to try this jam. Thanks!!!

Ooh, I love cherry jam! I’ve been guilty of eating some really good jam straight out of the jar when I need a sugar fix. Vanilla sounds like a perfect accompaniment, too.

I remember going through small jars of peanut butter, gianduia, and mango jam with a spoon as a kid! (I still do that with gianduia, of course. )

Plus, I love whole-fruit preserves and yours look particularly enticing. I wish cherries weren’t such a rarity here in the Philippines; I’d make bottles of it and slather it over everything from plain cake to buttered toast and even vanilla ice cream!
