Hi all☺

Recently went to MAHABALESHWAR for family trip along with some friends too. As we all know, this area is famous for strawberries and Mapro including some points too, so visited all the places and our kids enjoyed a lot.

Got many jars of crushes and syrups from Mapro which I’ll be using in my RECIPIES and along those got some fresh cherries in bulk. Few I kept in freezer to garnish desserts throughout the year and about of 1 kg I prepared cherry jam. I don’t like cherries so much but after chocolate glaze it tastes yum😊(as I garnished on caramel  croissants pudding). And of course jam is delicious. You can use this as jam between pancakes, bread or chappati or heating a bit will make it cherry crush which you can use on ice-cream tops. VANILLA ICE-CREAM WITH HOT CHERRY CRUSH. Last but not the least, you can refrigerate this jam and use for one year.

While cooking on stove, it starts leaving the sides. As soon as it happens, just take some jam and spread on a plate. Let it cool for seconds and then touch with your finger to test the string consistency.
