Cherry-banana jam

Prepare clean jars for the jam. Wash and pit the cherries. Peel the bananas. Scrape out the seeds from the vanilla pods. Weigh the cherries and bananas, then prepare an equal amount of gelling sugar in a 1:1 ratio. Purée the cherries and bananas in a saucepan with a hand blender and bring to a boil with the gelling sugar. Add the vanilla sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla bean pulp. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Let the mixture simmer for about 4 minutes. If you like, you can do a gelling test; I removed it from the heat and poured it into freshly rinsed jars. Screw the lids back on and then turn the jars upside down. It’s best to label the jars afterward. I then store my jam in a dark cellar.
