“The taste of Apulian cherries, even out of season.”
Jam made from Apulian cherries: fruit harvested and processed the same day, cherries pitted by hand, one at a time.
In Puglia cherries ripen between May and June: some are eaten straight off the tree, others become the jam that's been made at home for generations. It's the same tradition behind the other seasonal jams of Apulian cuisine: grape jam, made in autumn from the grape harvest, and quince jam, also an autumn preserve.
This jam is made from fresh local fruit, harvested and processed on the same day: Apulian cherries. Before becoming jam, every cherry is stemmed and pitted by hand, one at a time.
The taste
This cherry jam isn't sugar-free: it has just the right amount of sugar, enough to let the fruit's flavour come through instead of disappearing behind the sweetness. The result is a balance between freshness and sweetness, with the cherry always in the lead.

Cherry season
Cherries are ready between May and June: that's when, in Puglia, they're picked to eat fresh and to make this jam. The same happens in autumn with grape jam and quince jam: every season has its fruit, and every fruit its jam.
