Cherry Jam

Mama Leina presents you Cherries Jam!

Cherry Jam is Sweet or sour, cherries bring a burst of flavor to any dish. Stone fruit from the genus Prunus, cherries have been a popular food for thousands of years. A favorite fruit among the ancient Greeks and Romans, historical records suggest cherries arrived in North America as early as the 17th century.

Many of the health benefits of cherries stem from the fact they are:

• Cherries contain vitamin C. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C plays an important role in iron absorption, collagen formation, and several other critical functions in your body.
• Cherries Reduce pain after workout: Exercise is a key part of a healthy lifestyle, but some people avoid working out because they worry about the soreness or pain they might experience later on. Cherries may help ease this discomfort. In one study, runners who drank tart cherry juice daily before running a major race felt fewer aches and pains afterward.
• Cherries are good for Heart Health: Experts have identified a variety of polyphenols present in sweet and sour cherries. Polyphenols are a type of antioxidant found in plants. Multiple studies suggest that people who eat diets rich in these compounds are less likely to develop cardiovascular disease.
• Cherries are rich in many important vitamins and minerals. A serving of sweet cherries has 18% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C. Red cherries provide an even greater boost, delivering 25% of the recommended daily amount.
  Why citric acid?Since many bacteria are unable to grow in an acidic environment, citric acid is often added to jams, jellies, candy, canned foods, and even meat products as a form of preservation. The modified pectin helps in reducing your chances of having cancer. Jams are rich in sugar and a good source of energy.
