Ingredients
- 1 cup dried cherries
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 tablespoon juniper berries
- 1/2 tablespoon mixed peppercorns
Instructions
- Combine the dried cherries, 2/3 cup water, vinegar, wine, sugar and salt into a pot. Place the peppercorns, juniper berries and bay leaf into a coffee filter. Using butcher’s string, tie the coffee filter up so that the spices will not fall out. Now place the filter in the pot with the rest of the ingredients. Put the pot on the stove and turn the burner on high. Once it begins to boil, turn the burner to low and let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir the jam every couple of minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes and put in a blender. Blend until smooth. This goes really well with game meat and poultry.

Reviews
Very tangy and full of flavor. We will be putting this on some duck breast that we smoked earlier today. The sauce is a bit thin and next time I may cook it down a bit and add more cherries to it. So I may even reduce it a little before using it tonight but the flavor is wonderful. I imagine the smoked duck will be delicious!
