I’ve never actually made it myself though - thanks for the recipe. My friends at Adamah just gave me some of their homemade sour cherry jam that I can’t wait to try.

I would make jelly in October when the kitchen heat from cooking and canning was welcome and the happy smell of summer would return for us. Having made from fresh and from self-picked and frozen, I can say that the jam was good either way. I've never tried making jam from commercially frozen fruit, and I would hesitate since I would not know the origin or the condition of each berry the way I do when I do the picking.

If you are making Jelly it won't set. If you are ever missing home made jelly but have no fruit, I make an awesome Sangria Jelly! You can also make awesome POM Jelly from their juice. don’t skimp on the sugar! If you are making Jelly it won’t set.
