Marasca Cherry Jam from Modena

Close relatives of cherries and sour cherries, maraschino cherries fall into the category of 'sour' cherries: if you are wondering if sour cherries and maraschino cherries are the same thing, the answer is no. In fact, specifically, maraschino cherries are a variant of classic sour cherries. Maraschino cherries have a reddish-black hue and are even more sour and bitter than sour cherries. Needless to say, they release all their goodness when used to prepare delicious jams.

Maraschino cherries contain good amounts of vitamins A and C, potassium, fiber, calcium, and phosphorus. They do not contain many calories and not even a high presence of sugar. The first taste should definitely be at the end of the meal and eaten plain, to savor its unique tart flavor that sets it apart from all other jams. Among the recommended pairings, there is one with ice cream, excellent for use as pie fillings, but absolutely the most Modenese pairing is with tigelle!
