1. Preparation of the cherries: Start by washing, hulling and pitting the cherries.
2. Preparation of the jam: In a large saucepan, combine the cherries, sugar and lemon juice. Let the mixture macerate for an hour so that the cherries release their juice.
3. Cooking the jam: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Cook for about 30 minutes, stirring regularly. To check if the jam is ready, do the plate test: place a small amount of jam on a cold plate, it should set quickly.
4. Storing the jam: Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, close the lids and invert the jars until completely cooled.
