Steps:
- Place cherries, apple juice, lemon juice, and pectin into a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil, and mix in the sugar. Cook the jam at a rolling boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the cherry jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes, or the time as recommended by your county Extension agent.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:
- Put two saucers in the freezer for testing the jam later on. Tip the cherries, sugar and lemon juice into a large, heavy-based saucepan and simmer uncovered over a medium-high heat for 35-50 mins, stirring frequently until thick and glossy.
- After 35 mins, spoon a little of the jam onto one of the chilled saucers. Leave for 1 min, press a fingertip into the jam. If it starts the wrinkle, it's ready. If it slides away, continue to boil the jam for 10 mins, then test again on the other saucer.
- Spoon the jam into sterilised jars and seal. Will keep for six months unopened (when stored in a dark, cool place), or opened in the fridge for three months.

Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the jam from scorching.
- Cook the jam over medium heat: This will help to prevent the jam from boiling over and also help to preserve the鮮豔的水果flavor.
- Stir the jam frequently: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the pot and also help to incorporate the sugar evenly.
- Do not overcook the jam: Overcooked jam will be thick and chewy, and will not have as much flavor as properly cooked jam.
- Test the jam for doneness: To test if the jam is done, place a small amount on a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is done.
- Allow the jam to cool completely before storing: This will help to prevent the jam from spoiling.
- Store the jam in a cool, dark place: Properly stored jam can last for up to a year.
