Plout Sweet Cherry Jam

10 - 12 plouts pitted
1/3 cup water
1 1/2 cups sweet cherries, pitted
1 Tablespoon orange zest
2 Tablespoon orange juice
1 1/2 Tablespoon low/no sugar pectin
1/2 cup sugar

Wash, slice, and pit, plouts and sweet cherries.  Pulse in a food processor until fine.  Remove any seeds that are still in the mix.

In a heavy pan, mix the fruit and the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil you can not stir down. Then set the timer for 1 minute and do not stir.  Skim off foam.  Ladel into hot sterizled jars.  Wipe seal clean. Add lid and ring.

Process in a hot water bath 10 mintues. Carefully remove jars, avoiding tipping and place on a towel to cool. Let set 24 to ensure seal.  Enjoy.
