Cherry Jamming Inward The Miele Kitchen

Chef Rachelle Boucher shows off our cherry jam

If you’ve been to the shop or possibly the farmers marketplace lately you lot mightiness own got seen cherries. The sweetness of bing cherries is both intense in addition to fleeting. Cherries don’t concluding long subsequently existence picked, dissimilar apples or oranges. That's why I'm glad to hold out a purpose of the Canbassador program.

The by few years I’ve received a crate of fresh sweetness cherries from cherry barbecue sauce, canned cherries for pie, pose upward bourbon cherries, made cherry vanilla shrub in addition to fifty-fifty dried in addition to frozen cherries. This twelvemonth I decided to brand cherry jam. It turned out to hold out a real exceptional cooking sense for me because I wasn’t inwards my kitchen, but over at the Miele showroom inwards San Francisco, amongst my pal Chef Rachelle Boucher. She kindly invited me over to practise a footling cooking. To hold out honest, working amongst Miele appliances volition spoil you. Here’s how it went in addition to the telephone commutation ways it differed from what I practise at home: 

Step 1 - Sterlized the jars in  Miele’s super duper professional dishwasher. No messy hot H2O bath! 

Step two - Cooked the jam using a super duper Miele Induction Range. I would own got induction over gas anyday. Why? The infinitesimal you lot plough it off, there’s no rut at all. Which agency spell I likely should own got used a larger pot, in that location was no direct a opportunity of it boiling over since whatsoever adjustment to the rut was instantaneous. When you lot plough of the rut on a gas or electrical range, the grate stays hot. The smoothen surface also makes moving pots to a greater extent than or less easy.

Step 3 - Sterilized more jars hence processed the jam inwards a super duper Miele Combi-Steam Oven. Again, no messy in addition to potentially unsafe hot H2O bath! Because the oven uses steam, you lot don’t postulate a large capacity, in addition to it heats instantly, no “preheating.” What else tin you lot practise inwards it? Well steam apparently but also roast, brand yogurt, proof dough, bake breadstuff amongst perfect crusts. 

You genuinely don’t know what appliances are similar until you lot usage them. You tin read all the reviews you lot want, but cipher takes the identify of genuinely trying earlier you lot buy. The touchscreens, the smoothen surfaces in addition to the incredible publish of settings all brand this work of appliances positively dreamy. So you lot don’t recall I turned into the perfect cook, I volition at nowadays part amongst you lot the things I did wrong.  These are the 3 mistakes I made that I volition non brand again:

1. I generally mashed the cherries instead of chopping them thoroughly. If you lot don’t chop the cherries finely enough, cherry jam doesn’t thicken upward every bit much every bit it should. Oops! The skilful tidings is I own got  syrupy cherry topping which is fabulous on Greek yogurt or H2O ice cream in addition to non bad on toast. I may also usage some to brand cherry soda or cherry cocktails, hence non a consummate disaster. 

2. The recipe I constitute online called for a teaspoon of almond extract to four cups of cherries. This is way also much. Better to usage virtually a quarter or one-half that amount. Live in addition to learn! Seriously though, brand certain you’re confident inwards your recipe source. I recommend using the recipes at Sweet Preservation on the Northwest Cherries site.  

3. I doubled my recipe. While preserving is slap-up for large quantities, when trying a novel recipe, it’s best to practise a pocket-size or unmarried batch inwards example something goes incorrect (see #1 in addition to #2).

Disclaimer: My thank you lot for Northwest Stone Fruit for providing me amongst the cherries in addition to to Rachelle Boucher for inviting me to ready inwards the Miele kitchen. I was non compensated monetarily for this or whatsoever some other postal service on Cooking amongst Amy.
