CHOKECHERRY JELLY (AND JAM!)
This simple chokecherry jelly recipe comes together without storebought pectin for an easy wild foraged preserve. Chokecherry jam (or fruit butter) takes a bit more work, but it's another possible variation.

Steps:
- Clean and de-stem the chokecherries. Extract the juice, either in a steam juicer or by simmering them for roughly 20 minutes with 1 cup of water. Strain through a jelly bag for at least 2 hours.
- Measure the resulting juice and place 4 cups in a jam pot.
- Add sugar and lemon juice (if using).
- Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil in a deep heavy-bottomed pot, stirring frequently to prevent scorching and overflows.
- Cook on medium-high heat until the mixture reaches gel stage (about 15-20 minutes). Test for gelling on a plate that's been chilled in the freezer, or cook until it reaches 220 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.
- Pour the chokecherry jelly into prepared canning jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace and cap with 2 part canning lids.
- Store the finished jam in the refrigerator, or process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat on the canner, allow the jars to remain an additional 5 minutes, then remove to cool to room temperature.
- After 24 hours, check seals and store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator for immediate use. Properly canned and sealed jars will keep in the pantry for 12-18 months. Refrigerate after opening, and use within a few weeks.

CHOKECHERRY JAM
I found this recipe on the Kraft Kitchens Website a few years back. I was poorer than dirt and my son like PB& J sandwiches for his school lunches, since chokecherries grow wild around here it was a cheap way to make jam.

Steps:
- Step 1: *How to Make Chokecherry Juice* If you have a juicer, use it! I don't, so I use this method:
- Clean, wash, and remove stems from berries
- Place in a large pot filled with enough water to just cover the fruit
- Simmer 15-30 minutes until fruit softens
- Use a potato masher to mash the juice out
- Strain through a cheesecloth-lined colander or jelly strainer
- Save the juice and discard pulp/pits
- Step 2: Mix chokecherry juice, lemon juice, and 4 teaspoons calcium water in a pot
- Thoroughly mix sugar or honey in separate bowl with 4 teaspoons pectin & set aside
- Step 3: Bring juice mixture to a boil
- Add pectin/sugar mixture, mix until completely incorporated, then return to a boil
- Remove from heat, get ready to place it in your sterilized canning jars
- Step 4: Fill the jars, leaving 1/4″ headspace
- Boil in a hot-water bath canner 10 minutes (add an extra minute for every 1,000 feet you are above sea level)

- Prepare your calcium water ahead of time by combining 1/2 teaspoon calcium powder with 1/2 cup water in a small, clear jar with a lid. Shake well. Store extra in the refrigerator.
- Wash the chokecherries plain water and extract the juice by combining the fruit and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat then reduce to a simmer over low heat. Gently mash the chokecherries with a potato masher to release their juices and continue simmering over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Strain through a damp jelly bag or double layers of cheesecloth. Allow the chokecherries to strain for several hours, or overnight. Chokecherry juice is not clear, so feel free to squeeze the bag a squeeze to press out all the delicious juice. Discard solids. Remember the seeds are toxic, so toss the solids into the trash rather than composting if you have livestock that has access to your compost bins.
- Prepare your jars and lids by washing in warm, soapy water and rinsing thoroughly. Place jar rack into water bath canner, set jars in the canner, add water, and boil jars for 10 minutes to sterilize. Warm your lids in a small pot over low heat. Keep jars and lids warm until ready to use.
