Sour Cherry and Elderberry Jam with Tonka Beans

Stone the sour cherries. Strip the elderberries from the cones (put on gloves and with a little feeling ... then it's very easy), set aside 5 tablespoons. Finely grate the tonka bean on the nutmeg grater.

Mix the cherries with the sugar and puree finely, then mix in the elderberries and sugar and season with the tonka bean. The mass should now stand for a good 3 hours.

Bring the mixture to the boil, stirring frequently, and let it boil for at least 4 minutes. Then do your gel test. When the consistency is good, pour the mixture into prepared jars, put the lid on it and put it on the lid for a good 5 minutes, then turn it over and let it cool down.

4th mass makes 7 glasses of 220 ml each.
